The Pros:The ultimate in minimalist keyboards. Solid build quality and design (made in Japan). Professional Topre switches.

The Happy Hacking Professional 2 is a small computer keyboard that hosts the features of a full sized keyboard in a much more compact package: 11.6 x 4.3 x 1.6 inches. It builds from the previous generation Professional by incorporating a 2-port USB hub and included 1.8m cable.

Like its predecessor, the Professional 2 keyboard features 60 capacitive tactile key switches that replace lesser used keys with key combinations. There are also audio control keys for use on a Macintosh only. Note that many keys have been moved from their typical QWERTY position. For instance, the Backspace key now lies above the Enter key. Plus there are no cursor keys, though navigation can be had by hitting the Function (Fn) key and then the appropriate letter key.

#happy_hacking_professional_2 The reason that I have about a half dozen of these is that they have the control key where it belongs for us old unix hackers who use vim and the command-line. It's a wonderful keyboard.
