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

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

Switches are too stiff for my taste, I swapped them for light gaterons. And they're nothing so special that I would consider spring swapping to keep the keyboard closer to stock. I imagine for the same price you could get any switches you care to try and a nice aluminum hotswap keyboard, probably in

trackpoint and mouse buttons built in to a standalone keyboard isn’t really innovation There was also a Realforce trackpoint keyboard a very very long time ago, lol. Anyways, those features alone aren't the innovative part - it's all that plus the gesture pads on the sides/front. They basically addi
