This keyboard features a chatter-free capacitive non-contact switch, ideal for high-speed typing. It offers an ideal key feel for comfortable use even during extended periods, and boasts a long lifespan. Its multi-platform design supports both Windows and macOS via USB (Type-C) connection. Furthermore, it includes key mapping functionality and the "Type-S" key structure, which excels in both speed (high-speed typing) and silence (quiet operation). With its rational key layout and three-stage tilt adjustment, this is a simple yet meticulously designed keyboard.
Simple and flexible wired connection: This model is dedicated to USB Type-C wired connection and does not have Bluetooth functionality. Simply connect it to your PC with a single USB cable to create a stable input environment without worrying about wireless connectivity. Using a USB switch, you can use one keyboard with two PCs. It also supports connection via a display with a USB hub function.
Capacitive non-contact switch mechanism and "Type-S" key structure: The "capacitive non-contact switch mechanism," which switches without contact (without bottoming out), achieves a deep stroke and a superb key touch. It features a key structure that excels in both high-speed typing (Speed) and quiet operation (Silent).
A rational key layout ideal for shortcut operations: "A keyboard with the key layout programmers desire." The minimal keys are rationally arranged, eliminating the need to move your hands from the home position, enabling inherently speedy typing.
Lightweight, minimalist, and compact: A compact size of slightly more than half the size of A4 paper is achieved by a streamlined key layout. The battery-free design makes it lightweight. The absence of a battery box results in a clean, minimalist design.
Keymap Change Function: In addition to DIP switches that allow you to change the assignment of control keys, the keyboard is equipped with a "Keymap Change Function" that allows you to customize the keymap of control keys and all character keys (*). Software-based keymap changes are intuitive and easy to use, and the settings are saved on the HHKB itself, so you can use the same keymap on other devices. *Excluding some keys that have special functions assigned to them.
High-quality details: Professional-grade details include "cylindrical step sculpture" with all keycap surfaces facing towards the center, "tilt adjustment function" that allows you to set the keyboard to your preferred angle with 3-stage tilt switching, and highly durable "sublimation printing".
Featuring a chatter-free capacitive non-contact switch system ideal for high-speed input, this keyboard offers an ideal key touch that prevents fatigue even during prolonged use, and boasts a multi-platform design compatible with Windows and macOS via USB Type-C connection.
Furthermore, it features a key mapping function and the "Type-S" key structure, which excels in both speed (high-speed typing) and silence (quietness). It's a simple keyboard with meticulous attention to detail, including a rational key layout and a 3-stage tilt adjustment function.
Utilizing a "capacitive non-contact switch" system that switches without physical contact (no bottoming out), this keyboard achieves deep key strokes and an exceptionally smooth key feel. The supple rebound and high responsiveness that are comfortably transmitted to your fingertips make it ideal for tasks requiring high concentration, such as programming and document creation. It boasts the quality and durability expected of a "non-contact keyboard" and a "premium keyboard," ensuring you won't feel fatigued even during long typing sessions. This keyboard brings a new value to typing itself, making it a source of joy.
"A keyboard with the ideal key layout for programmers." The minimalist keys are rationally arranged, eliminating the need to move your hands from the home position, enabling inherently speedy typing. This characteristic is further enhanced by utilizing shortcuts through key combinations with the "Control" and "Fn" keys. This design, which increases input efficiency, provides a comfortable user experience that will satisfy engineers even during long hours of programming or writing.
With a simple wired-only configuration, it achieves a more minimalist and compact design. The streamlined key layout results in a compact size slightly larger than half an A4 sheet, making it comfortable and space-saving both on your desk and on the go. It's as portable as your favorite fountain pen, allowing you to enjoy the unique touch and layout of the HHKB wherever you are. By eliminating batteries and wireless units, it's a clean, lightweight wired keyboard.
In addition to DIP switches that allow you to change the assignment of control keys, the "HYBRID Type-S," "HYBRID," and "Classic Type-S" models are equipped with a "key mapping function" that allows you to customize the key mapping of control keys and all character keys (*). Key mapping via software is intuitive and easy to use, and the settings are saved on the HHKB itself, so you can use the same key mapping on other devices. You can create a more professional "my keyboard" that reflects your preferences, pursues the fastest typing speed, or optimizes for typing competitions and games.
*Excluding some keys that have been assigned special functions.
HHKB's unique details, such as the "cylindrical step sculpture" that tilts all keycap surfaces towards the center, the "tilt adjustment function" that allows you to adjust the keyboard to your preferred angle with three tilt settings, and the "sublimation printing" that is highly durable and prevents the key legends from fading even after long use, are all professional-grade.
