Studio

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

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.

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

The integrated pointing device is awesome! The gesture pads get in the way more than they help IMO, but they’re easy to disable.

If there's anything I'd like to see on the HHKB Studio BEFORE someone makes an alu case - its a Caps Lock light indicator Not that I actually use caps lock, i just think its such a simple detail they just had no reason to leave out, lol. Then yeah an Aluminum case with interchangeable plate would be

I bought an extra set to give me seventy total (including the sixty that come with the Studio) to swap them into my Launch Lite from System76. Was glad I did, but $25 for a pack of 10 switches is honestly RIDICULOUS... I just haven't gone down the rabbit hole yet to find a suitable switch direct fro

Unfortunately, there aren't any keyboards with a TrackPoint that are comparable in size or cost. Not that I'm aware of at least. There's Unicomp's Model M clone for $200 USD, and a handful of mechanical models from TEX in Taiwan at a similar price point, and the 60% HHKB Studio for a whopping $329 U

do you use any of the side sliding touchpad features? the problem with the studio is that, for the money, there are much nicer true hhkb boards out there with MX switches that offer much better customizeability and build quality
