HHKB - Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional Classic (Wired, USB-C, Mac, Windows, White, Printed) with 2 Year Advance Exchange Warranty

Excellent keyboard.

Estava de olho no HHKB a um bom tempo, tanto por conta do seu layout quanto pelos switch topre, e devo dizer que tem sido uma ótima experiência. O switch topre da um feeling diferente dos switches tradicionais, tendo tanto uma certa tatilidade, mas ainda sentindo bem leve de se pressionar. A princípio, eu não havia achado grande coisa, mas depois de algumas semanas experimentando, devo dizer que é uma experiência bem única utilizar ele. É um ótimo teclado, mas eu recomendaria somente pra quem é do nicho de programação ou entusiasta de teclados!

I bought this keyboard after reading all the good reviews and the PFU product description. I decided to go with the Professional Classic because I didn't care about the Bluetooth (I usually avoid Bluetooth). I got the keyboard and started using it (on Windows). Some of the layout is really cool, like the nearer backspace and the absence of in the way caps lock key. Other features, like the absence of arrows, are really a downer. I knew it a buy time, but decided to still go with this keyboard because there was an official remap tool available. Big mistake. When I decided to go get it, surprise, the "Classic" models are not supported. I checked again and none of the reviews I saw online mentioned this. The PFU website mentions it, but with an asterisk on the download page. There seems to exist hacks (voiding the guarantee, of course) to remap the keyboard, so this looks like a deliberate software limitation by PFU to sell their higher end models. It was mentioned on the Amazon page, as I saw afterwards, but in comparison table, way too far in the product page for such an important difference. Really disappointed to buy such an expensive keyboard which is so limited compared to its higher price cousins.

Mi endgame. Compra a futuro excelente.

Been wanting one of these for over 15 years now, but was never able to get one, since they are not shipped to my country of residence. However I was finally able to arrange one, and I am typing on it right now. I've been into mechanical keyboards for nearly 20 years now, so I am not new to the game. I am familiar with all MX switches. But Topre is just better. And the sound. I feel like I could write on this keyboard forever and not get sick of it. The sound and feel of the board - despite being made entirely of plastic - somehow feels superior to a lot of MX based custom boards out there. Sure it's plastic, but the plastic is of the very best quality. Some things about the board will take some getting used to sure, but I'm sure it will be well worth it. It's well worth it already to me. Simply the best feeling keyboard I have ever used and probably ever made. There's just something about it...
