Studio

I have both, and to be honest, I don’t use the gesture panels on the Studio very much. If I had to recommend one for now, I’d say go with the Hybrid Type-S. The Hybrid Type-S uses Topre, which are super comfortable for long typing sessions. It’s also a great way to get used to the HHKB layout. On to

Overall, I love mine. I recognize, though, that this purely boils down to the integrated pointer. Throughout my day, I am constantly using it alongside a traditional mouse. I've used ThinkPad keyboards for years, and when it came time to upgrade, the studio was the most premium option that didn't sa

Glad you're enjoying it! However, I have to disagree about the switches: they are truly terrible and feel nothing like Topre. Linear? Gross! I was thinking about returning mine, but then I tried it with TTC Bluish White Silent Tactile V2 42g switches and, boy, what a difference they made! If I didn'

I'm interested in trying a trackball, primarily from an ergonomics/RSI prevention perspective, but I'm completely new to them and not sure where to start. What confuses me is the huge variety of options: Thumb-operated vs finger-operated When it comes to RSI, it's different for everyone ~ but genera

I think it strongly depends on your personal usecase. I really love my HHKB Studio but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. If you're just chasing to try some MX switches and don't care about the other features at all, then I would go for another board. Not because the Studio is bad, but there are jus

i had a similar experience with the studio. it's an excellent feeling keyboard. I'm obsessed with Topre and almost felt guilty how much i liked the feel of the studio. Unfortunately, the studio didn't feel as refined as a normal hhkb. The materials were fine, but it just felt a little over-the-top f

Wonderful! You can see the legends on the keycaps. Bravo. I like my charcoal, but I dearly do wish it was less about style than function for its keycaps. Honest to god I just want white text on black keys. I'm over the 'stealth' or 'murdered out' look, and just want to see the darned keys when I nee

The integrated pointing device is awesome! The gesture pads get in the way more than they help IMO, but they’re easy to disable. There’s too much “lip” in the front, but I understand why they did it (to put mouse buttons there). It would be nicer if that lip extension was limited to the area in the

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.

Keyboards are so personal. I just picked up a Studio after not being sure I would like it in a meaningful enough way to justify buying it. I am not a seasoned HHKB user. My first HHKB was the Pro Hybrid Type S in my flair I picked up 2 years ago. I love the keyboard. I’ve adapted to the layout in ma
