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

I've never had experience with Topre, but I have an obsession with keyboards that have a trackpoint and integrated mouse buttons (I wish TEX still sold the Yoda II, as I LOVE my Shura DIY), so I took a chance on the Studio... and man, am I glad I did. The layout took some getting used to, this being

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'

the studio is pretty awesome in general though if you try to hold it up against a topre HHKB, it's apples to oranges the linear switches are surprisingly pretty damn good, it took me a while to find something tactile that feels and sounds a little better than the stock linears

Core point of the post is I'm wondering if the hhkb type s will be too quiet what if i wanna get a clacky switch or a completly silent switch While subjective, Topre is one of the better sounding and satisfying switches out there. There are a few tradeoffs for this (it's louder ~ the quietest Topre

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

Bc the layout also shares the same name we use synonymously with Topre/EC, a lot of people also know of it as just the layout. Shame but yeah I personally would love to see a new creation like this in the HHKB space! still waiting for a what if build from HHKB themselves to make a Topre version of t

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.

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
