So, practically speaking, the Saturn-60 is fantastic and I’d love to own it. However, it doesn’t have arrow keys and I’m a bit dependent on those even though I’m well aware of the ability to assign those to a layer.
Now, as far as bombastic goes nothing even comes close to the Hyper7 and thus I would personally prefer that one because… well… look at it!
OOH, he just reopened it for a bit. If you wanna order a Saturn. It seems the majority here are for the Hyper 7, but I have a R1 Saturn and I adore it.
My R1 board is beige with a black bottom and black hardware. This time I went with all raw stainless in HHKB layout.
I debate endlessly on which functions I should map to each key, so the Hyper 7 would be some sort of fresh hell for me. Like, what do you do with that many keys?
I can think of people who could use that many keys and I am simply not one of them. However, that does not prevent the impulsive, irrational side of me from overwhelming my ability to think by repeating, “but lookit all dem buttons!”
I have this dilemma and I decided the Hyper 7 is the way to go. Disclosure: I already have a Saturn and love it but come on. The ridiculous factor is enough.
The Hyper 7 truly is a magnificently rotund feat of substantially girth-tastic engineering and I am certainly enraptured by its sheer number of switches. I think if I were to partake in the realm of desk-consuming, mouse-displacing and downright comprehensiveness of the >100% input devices I would lean toward the 122-key buckley sproing with a solenoid cause those puppies got a bark to match their bite. Though come to think of it, a Hyper 7 with a solenoid and the $300 worth of clickiez it would take to fill it would sound like a small army of robots cracking their knuckles. Beautiful.
