To celebrate HHKB’s 25th anniversary and acknowledge the support of our users throughout the years, we are launching a limited-edition ‘Snow’ model of the HHKB Professional HYBRID Type-S. The exclusive Snow model is a white version of the standard Type-S and includes a limited edition HHKB25 ‘Fn’ key, making it a unique piece of HHKB history.
There are only 250 models available for purchase so visit PFUEMEA.com to get your hands on one before they sell out.*
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.
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.
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.
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-Switches enable you to change keyboard mode to support different Operating Systems.
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.
Commitment to quality, durability, and technological sophistication.
