Fantastic Board with Steep Learning Curve
I used this for work (programming) and it took a while to get used to due to the arrow keys and lack of numberpad.That being said it feels incredible and Ive had most of the major switches like MX Cherry, Kailh, Gateron, Logi etc. The Topre really does feel nice but some people might miss the clicky sound of something like blues, like I do.The board is light (some would argue it feels cheap however, I don’t share that sentiment) but note that I don’t really travel with it so I can’t comment on portability.Price is on the high end so it takes a hit there. People more well versed than I give a slew of reasons for the price so I won’t comment more.The layout is the what I like about it. You don’t have a caps lock (which I never really found that useful) and have Control in the location instead which is more relaxing on your hand. The delete key is one position lower which makes sense since it’s closer for your pinky. The arrow keys are really hard to get used to but once you’re used to it (took me a month) your hand moves a shorter distance so I found it more comfortable.Overall, it’s a fantastic but pricey board. It’s one where you have to invest time for the change in layout but it’s easier on your hands and wrists.

Amazing keyboard
Such a great keyboard, not only do I love the way these topre switches feel, they sound even better nothing sounds sound quite like them. Huge bonus to the upgraded space bar as well. Definitely a must have for various uses. I use it all around for many things like programming, playing Valorant and CS:go, and normal desktop activities. Easy to clean, lightweight, and made out of high quality material that makes this keyboard so satisfying to use.

I cannot recommend this keyboard
The Topre switches felt nice, but not leaps and bounds better than some nice MXs. I'm quite a fan of this and similar layouts as well. However, I cannot recommend this keyboard. It is very light and all plastic. It feels very cheap. It is NOT worth the asking price. Until HHKB steps up the case design quality and materials to meet that premium price tag. I would steer clear unless you've always owned this board and want a replacement.

Topre is my endgame!
I got into the mechanical keyboard hobby about a year ago and when I saw the HHKB Pro Classic on sale, I decided to finally give it a try. 60% is my favorite layout and I was hesitant to try the HHKB layout due to the CTRL being where Caps Lock is but since using the board, I love it. I even programmed some of my other custom mechanical keyboards to have the same CTRL placement since I got so used to it.I don't know what it is about topre but I love to type on it. I love the subtle tactility the domes provide. I love the way the keys and stabilizers rattle. I really like the ABS integrated plate and the plastic case and what they do for the overall sound of the board. I find myself coming back to my HHKB more often than not. I lubed and silenced my Pro Classic with DES #3 rings and 3204 and while it sounded great, I decided to restore it back to stock because I thought the board sounded great out of the box and preferred that sound.I think in terms of pricing, the HHKB can be a pretty hard sell but for me it was worth it. I look forward to using it and typing on it and that much alone makes getting work a lot more rewarding. If you've never tried topre, I might recommend trying it in person first before committing but for me once I tried it, it was a no brainer. Neat little board

the function keys on the keyboard doesn't work
the function keys on Mac doesn't work, pretty sure this is the software issue but the customer support only asked for a return then refund, which means I need to wait for another 2 weeks to have this product. Dissapointing

Quality control just isn't there for the price
I wanted to love it but was quite disappointed with the quality. The keys were very loose, rattley and just inconsistent feeling. In comparison I picked up another mechanical that feels and sounds super consistent at nearly half the price.
