HHKB is a great keyboard (it's my personal choice of keyboard too, I love the Unix layout), but it's a 60% keyboard not a Ten Keyless, it sounds like the GP has a need for function keys.

Yep, function keys and mostly also the arrow keys. A full keyboard is too large but I need the extra arrow keys. (Ironically, I work in Emacs most of the time but I need the arrow keys in other applications.)

I just noticed that they've taken the arrow keys off the HHKB! It always had an inverted T.

The japanese layout HHKB does have arrow keys, but the original (QWERTY) design never had them.
