Hybrid connectivity options and silent key switches for a quieter HHKB experience on all your modern devices.

HHKB HYBRID Type S black

  • Minimalist, Tenkeyless, Near-Symmetrical Layout

    The compact size and near-symmetrical layout means your fingers never have to leave the home row making for greater speed, accuracy and reduced wrist and finger fatigue.

  • Topre Silent Key Switches

    Comprising a conical spring, rubber dome, electrostatic capacitive sensor and silent membrane, Topre silent key switches eliminate key chatter, whilst providing supreme tactility, extra comfort, keystroke precision and a quieter HHKB experience.

  • Premium PBT Keycaps and Spacebar

    Sculpted keycaps and spacebar made from durable, shine-resistant PBT with dye-sublimation printed legends for long-life and a crisp, professional finish.

  • Cylindrical Step Sculpted Design

    The cylindrical-step sculpted design provides greater ergonomics, with all keycap surfaces facing centrally, feels more natural and helps you keep your fingers on the home row.

  • Hybrid Connectivity

    Connect to your PC or hybrid device via USB (Type-C), or connect to your PC, Tablet, Smartphone (up to 4 paired devices) via bluetooth multi-pairing, instantly switching between devices with keyboard shortcuts.

  • Dip-Switch Customisation

    Dip-Switches enable you to change keyboard mode to support different Operating Systems.

  • UNIX Arrangement

    We adopted the key arrangement following the Sun Type 3 key array. The [Control] key is to the left of [A] for greater usability and maximum productivity.

  • Keymap Customisation

    Keymap settings are written and saved to the HHKB itself so the same keymap can be used with different devices.

  • Made & Designed In Japan

    Commitment to quality, durability, and technological sophistication.
