Considering an HHKB for Topre switches, but worried about the layout. Is it a huge adjustment?

For me learning curve wasn’t too bad. What I would suggest is remapping your keyboard to the hhkb layout as close as possible (with something like karabiner on Mac) and seeing if you actually LIKE the layout, if it’s not for you get a Realforce R3S, it is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than a new hhkb. TLDR;

I wanted an MMO mouse with 12 side buttons, so I use a Redragon M913 Impact Elite mouse. Very nice mouse for the price, but impossible to configure on Linux. I don't recommend it if you don't want to boot into Windows just once to configure it. I'm thinking of swapping it for a Corsair Scimitar at s
