What's your opinion on HHKB vs. RF? I've been reading conflicting posts. Some say HHKBs are of a lesser build quality than RF and some say otherwise.

hhkb are way lighter than RF boards, which do make them feel kind of cheap.

i like RF 45g more than hhkb 45g. they feel smoother for some reason.

but i like the hhkb layout a lot. especially this hhkb pro jp. i missed the arrow keys lol

Just kidding.

Key Puller tools are all around. Just buy one. I'm sure you can find reviews that will confuse you enough. Try the manufacturer not the seller, unless they are the same. I'm assuming they are Cherry MX keys and removeable. Right?
