I had one for awhile and really liked it. Although I got mine for $69 + free overnight shipping from PFU so it was a good deal. With that being said I wish they came with red esc keys because it is a piler type keycap and you can't replace any keys. My only other complaint was the usb ports on it, they were inset so nothing I had would go all the way in which was frustrating. Other then that it was actually a cool board and the rubber domes were not that bad a little strong so if you like MX reds its probably not for you.
The Happy Hacking Professional 2 (HHKB2) is a minimalist's dream come true; packing more features than a full size keyboard into a very small package. The HHKB2 still provides full-size keycaps, and uses Topre's unique capacitive tactile key switches for comfort and high reliability. PC and Mac friendly, the HHKB2 maintains its wide functionality by replacing lesser used keys with key combinations, which once you get the hang of it, you may never want to use a full size keyboard again; the HHKB2 even provides audio controls (Mac only) and a built-in 2-port USB 2.0 hub!
