I have an HHKB and it is really hard to go back to any other keyboard now. I absolutely adore this keyboard.

@andi 3 жыл бұрын

That’s awesome Eric! I’m glad you’re enjoying yours :) And yes for me it’s exactly the same, once you get used to the HHKB there really isn’t anything close to the typing experience

@lawbinson 7 ай бұрын

For real. It’s so nice not having to reach as far for arrows and although I have other nicer custom keyboards, I find myself mostly using my modded HHKB Hybrid.

I think the HHKB format is fantastic for anyone who types a lot for their job. Maybe if you’re an accountant and need a number pad, you can add a numpad. But, being able to keep your hands closer without needing to move much for arrows or anything else is great.

@@andi Maybe doing a review of the Leopold FC660C for example and comparing it to this HHKB Pro 2 is a good idea, just to have a comparison between two different keyboards and plate materials with the same switches, from what i've heard it is another style of keyboard with topre switches :)

Is there no key mapper in the box?

@MatzeMumpitz 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Andi and thank you for your review. Two questions: 1. Are the keycaps all the same sice so one could reorder them? 2. Why didn't you mention the new HHKB Hybrid? Best from Germany

@andi 4 жыл бұрын

Hey Matze, thank you for your comment! You would need to order keycaps specifically made for the HHKB, meaning these keycap sets have a smaller 1.75u right shift, and the larger 7u spacebar. I haven't mentioned the Hybrid version because it sadly is not available in Germany/Europe yet and I have not been able to test it. When it comes out I would be more than happy to make a comparison though! Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions :)

@andi 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Matze :D I have some great news for you: the hhkb hybrid is now available in europe and I just posted a new video about it, comparing it to the pro 2! Make sure to check it out!

Oof no numpad... thats a downgrade for me... Blender pretty much requires it besides rebinding keys

@andi 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah that's one of the things that might be the hardest part to switch from full size to something like 60%. But you can always get an external numpad if that's something you're interested in? :D

@cheyannei5983 4 жыл бұрын

It's better I feel to just buy a separate numpad and move it to the right of your mouse for ergonomics
