Studio

Just get an HHKB studio, it's basically an HHKB but with hotswap MX switches and a trackpoint.

The studio is a weird duck. Though not Topre, the switches/caps feel quite nice and silent. The track-point works very well. As well as IBM/Lenovo I would say, not the crap Dell fed users. I would recommend it on a good sale. $400 is getting into Mode Tempo territory (or two HHKB pro territory).

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'

Trying to decide which keyboard I should keep. Wait, so you have both? If you own both, you already know what the typing feel is. What kind of experience are you looking for? I am someone who owns both (and many other HHKBs). They both have thier place, and will be completely dependent on your needs

I like mine, I'm a Thinkpad guy and this keyboard helps me retain some of the Thinkpad ergonomics. I hate the charcoal print on the black keys, I replaced my keycaps with white keys + black print. The linear switches are OK, not my favorite, I wish they were more clicky, but not many choices out the

Neat! Is that a Ploopy Adept? My HHKB Studio just arrived. I replaced the abomination that is the default linear switches with Kailh Box Whites, and now I am liking it quite a lot. The pointing stick is especially well-executed. Bravo! The only thing it's missing (aside from proper Topre switches) i

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 always bring my Studio HHKB its really heavy but integrated trackpoint is good for meetings where I dont need to bring trackball

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
