Studio

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

Dont know if you would like it. But check out "HHKB Studio" :D. I use the hybrid version without the trackpoint and have been loving the layout (be aware that the stupid uses standard MX switches, and the others use Topre)

The newer HHKBs (classic/hybrid) have much better build quality than older generations and the hybrid can be easily reprogrammed. The classic can be reprogrammed as well but not straight out of the box. If you want a more quiet experience go for the type-S. If you are open to buying used modded HHKB

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'

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.

I’ve tried several keyboards inclucing MX and Topre, even low profile and also some aftermarket Topre builds. Nowadays, I only keeb my topre build and hhkb studio, I rotate between them regularly. Lately, I’ve been using the HHKB Studio quite a bit, and it really stands out in its own way. The switc

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

I don't have a great deal of time atm to give this a more thoughtful response, but a couple of quick thoughts - The root cause is keeping the arm fixed and confining all motion to the wrist and fingers, which end up overworked. Just sharing my experience in case it is relevant - I found that for mys

Yeah, I’ve got a few Topre HHKBs and still like them more than the Studio. But the Studio’s got that HHKB vibe for sure. Tried swapping in other MX switches and caps—meh, nothing beats the stock setup.
