Time to choice

That top one looks to be the limited edition 25th anniversary variant that was released in 2021. I would pick that one due to the rarity alone. I got my info from HHKB.io 's professional hybrid section. It references your model number.

Crushed Topre domes from leaving in carrying case

In practice, how likely is this to actually happen, and/or has this actually happened to anyone here? This isn't a hypothetical, and has been replicated both intentionally and unintentionally. I have a ~2 year old Professional Hybrid Type-S that has been stored in the official HHKB carrying case its

Buy HHKB Japanese Layout in the U.S.

Is there any reliable way I can get an authentic FPU JIS Layout HHKB from the U.S? If you wish to order directly from PFU, your best bet is via proxy. I haven't used Buyee in a while (I stopped when our government got rid of the de minimis exception for imports under $800), but they were a reasonabl

A take most hot

I got my first HHKB a few days ago; the Professional Hybrid Type-S in White (grey/beige) which has non-centered legends. I also got the Wistera and Dandelion keycaps which has centered legends and smaller font.I'm liking the centered legends, smaller font, and thinner lines. It's a bit less professi

Different typing feel on 2 HHKBs

I have 4 HHKB - Professional Hybrid, 2 Type-S Professional Hybrid (black and snow), and a Professional 2 circa 2019. While the three different models DO feel different, the 2 Type-S are identical to me. Different keycap colors feel slightly different and I attribute that to my brain reacting to a mo

Should I sell my HHKB Hybrid?

3 years ago I didn't have this need, I was fine with Bluetooth for whatever I needed to use it for at that time, but my needs have shifted. I saw that there's a 40€ adapter kit for the Professional 2 sold on Aliexpress (link here) that honestly just seems perfect for me. Issue is: I don't have a Pro

three years in with this bad boy... love the sound and feel

This keyboard, the HHKB Professional Hybrid S, was my gift to myself for graduating in Computer Science and starting work at IBM. I was naïve. But after using the keyboard everyday for 6 years has been fantastic. Even my old tech lead called it “The Keyboard” after seeing it in all my cellphone phot

The only background noise here is my favorite music.

Thank you! It's a HHKB Professional Hybrid Type-S (probably my endgame keyboard, for now).

Can I use the HHKB with other keyboards?

I got into mechanical keyboards during the pandemic as well and finally got a newer HHKB Professional Hybrid type-s made in 2022. The newer Hybrid models allow you to remap keys with HHKB's Keymap tool while the newer Professional Classics do not; which is a shame but I found my self not wanting, or

A way too early quick review of DES domes T1 + housing springs

I just installed the 49g carrots on my HHKB professional hybrid and it gave exactly the small increase in tactility I was craving. It is very similar now to the aged domes on my older HHKB professional 2.
