Getting a HHKB for the first time, Pro 2 or Hybrid

I prefer wireless connection, and I'm also free to have time to mod my keyboard, is the Pro 2 the better choice if I can mod it by myself? Or should I get the Hybrid from the first place? Oh boy, lol. There are going to be many different valid opinions, but they're not going to be very useful to som

Enso E - HHKB Split Ergo by Clever, merry christmas

Considering the price of actual PFU HHKB keyboards, this seems like a great price point. FYI, in case you're not taking it into account, the kit pricing does not include switches. If you're using the Dynapak, it would be another $142. The final cost would be $520 + $142 + whatever keycaps you want t

Which hhkb should I buy?

The newer HHKBs (classic/hybrid) have much better build quality than older generations and the hybrid can be easily reprogrammed. The classic can be reprogrammed as well but not straight out of the box. If you want a more quiet experience go for the type-S. If you are open to buying used modded HHKB

Should I get a second Hybrid Type-S (Snow)?

Does the Snow version yellow over time with sun exposure? My desk gets decent light so that’s a real concern. Starting with the Pro 3 (Classic / Hybrid), they transitioned to AES plastics for their White and Snow. AES plastics are a lot more resistent to UV-caused yellowing than the original ABS cas

Crushed Topre domes from leaving in carrying case

My travel Pro 2 Type S Truly lives an abused life, gets crammed where it fits, which is usually all keys smashed down. It's perfectly fine. Zero issues and it's lived this life since 2015 I think this has to be heavily caveated, and anyone seeing this should take into account the various factors tha

HHKB Upgrade Dilemma

Honestly. NO amount of upgrades, nothing, beats the feeling of typing at the speed of your thoughts on a blank keycapped HHKB. I ran the full keybr.com torture course on Colemak-DH until I hated it, and then honed in on monkeytype.com. But then again, I was absolutely convinced and commited to true,

"HHKB" — is that a spec or a vibe at this point?

Yeah, this is the thing, why call other devices hhkb if they arent? Regardless of layout or switches? Personally if it isnt a pfu hhkb then its not an hhkb. It can be inspired by or true to original layout but not if its not an hhkb (imo) this is why mine is the happy sabi kb with hhkb layout (6u sp

Long time custom MX user, first time custom Topre user.

I personally had no issues reassembling the board where it introduced weird, undesirable quirks. This is mostly an issue with Pro 2 cases. Hybrid / Classic cases are designed a bit differently and have been overall improved from a noise perspective, so it's less noticeable if something is a μm misal

Studio arrived

HHKB hoarder here, if you are after the classic topre feel, forget about the studio, gesture pad is cool until you put a wrist rest there and the two front gesture pads become unusable. Love the mouse buttons, I just wish they have the topre version for Studio.
