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

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).

The classic and hybrid are good. My hybrid type S still has it's daily driver carrying case. But I'm not convinced I'd ever want a studio. I'm not sure what I'm really getting for the price. I was never a fan since its debut. For that price you can get a Tex Yoda or Tex Yoda II, which is a much more

Just a personal opinion so take it with grain of salt please: Worth it? Absolutely NO. Below is the reason: Overpriced: you can get way more premium build board with same prices Do not support VIA or similar keyboard mappings, you stuck with the official one which is less features than VIA It use sp

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

hhkb studio. A bit pricey being full cherry mx and all, but honestly not as bad as some of the rare ibm trackpoint keyboards go for. Price does depend a bit on where you are in the world, its made in japan for the domestic market primarily.

Fair, I imagine there is an argument for the price of a topre hhkb as I believe they require some kind of expensive licensing/processing, but for a standard mechanical the studio is pretty crazy for the price.

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

TEX keyboards such as the Shinobi are probably a better choice anyway besides being cheaper, as the HHKB Studio is the weird non-Topre black sheep of the lineup. That said, if the Studio had Topre, the premium may have been worth it.

Outside of the IBM/lenovo ones, there's the TEX shinobi (and their other keyboards) for a mechanical option. It's pricey and doesn't guarantee support, but it's there There's also the HHKB studio, which is even more expensive and only has a 60% option, but it's there as well There's a variety of tra
