Fujitsu Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional Type-S (Compact, White, 45G, Printed Keycaps, Silent, Topre Capacitive, Mechanical, USB-C)

I bought both the HHKB type-s and the WASD Code with Cherry MX clears and o-rings for silencing for comparison. I had previously been using the Cherry MX Browns. Simply put, this is the best keyboard I've ever typed on. Since I couldn't find any comparisons of the two on the web, I'll leave it here. WASD Code tenkey-less, Cherry MX clears, o-rings: Pros - sturdy and well built, I liked how heavy it was making it so it wouldn't slide around - the clears made it so I made less typing errors when compared to the browns, which I liked - the tenkeyless layout was surprisingly compact - quiet with the o rings, besides the pinging Cons - hand fatigue from having to press so hard on the clears - metallic pinging whenever you released a key. it was pretty annoying - ABS keycaps HHKB type-s: Pros - Compact, aesthetically pleasing - I heard that topre switches ruin you for other switches, and this is true. I am blown away at how great they feel - the actuation force required is perfect enough not to make errors and not lead to hand fatigue after a long typing session - some people have said it feels like the switches are wrapped in tissue paper; I don't think so. These feel great to type on. In fact, typing on this keyboard feels like butter; after typing for multiple hours my fingers felt like buttery amazingness. It is truly an experience typing on this keyboard. Almost too luxurious. Anyways, I digress. - pretty quiet, though I don't have a HHKB pro 2 stock to compare to. I would say that this is slightly louder than the WASD Code clears with the red o-ring modification, but still not loud enough to bother office mates - keycaps feel great and look good Cons - The layout can take a little time to get used to, but ultimately it leads to greater efficiency. Not really a con - The rubber feet are just on the front end of the board, and they are pretty small. I'm going to have to install some rubber feet or place the keyboard on top of a large mouse pad since it slides around my desk. - instruction manual is in Japanese Overall, the HHKB type-s is the best keyboard I've ever had and prefer it over the WASD Code, which I am returning (though it is still a good keyboard for the price point). I highly recommend and it is well worth the money. Get it, you won't be disappointed.

I needed a keyboard that provided a tactile feel, but wouldn't drive everyone else crazy in my shared office with a clickety-clack. It feels less like the classic IBM keyboard, and more like the classic Mac keyboard I used back in the '80s. I love how compact it is; it takes up very little real estate on the desk, and I'm able to easily move it out of the way when I'm not using it. However, they took the space economy a bit too far. Everyone talks about how you'll get "used to" the unusual location of the "delete" key. Maybe -- if this is the ONLY keyboard you use in your life. But having to switch between the regular keyboards at work (and the typewriters I still use), after more than two years I'm still forced to re-learn the position every time I use it. Also -- you really don't realize how much you use the arrow keys until you don't have them anymore. Aside from that, I love this keyboard; it's a WRITER's dream come true!

I'm typing this from the HHKB Pro2 Type-S for posterity sake, so let's get to it: Pros: - Topre switches: While a lot of praise has been showered on how incredible these switches are, I'll just reiterate that they are smooth as butter, silent as can be in the Type-S and have basically broken me of any Cherry clone stem (although I've yet to try Alps!). - Compact: This was important for me as I need a daily driver keyboard capable of being easily bag carried. Combine this with a Allen Knit Hangun Gun Sock, 14 available here on Amazon for a dust cover and it's a great, small keyboard to easily slip into a backpack. - High quality: The build quality on this is second to none, even though it's plastic - it's some of the highest quality plastic you will touch. Keycaps are PBT and have to be felt to be believed. - Overall experience: I'm a 90+ WPM typer on a regular full-size keyboard. That rate was dropped to a 60+ rate immediately on arrival and has since increased steadily back to normal levels once I've become more used to the layout and design. Don't expect a huge hit in performance. Also, once I mod it and install a "Hasu Controller" then the sky is the limit as that will enable full programmability (along with voiding your warranty!) but just further improves an already incredibly designed keyboard. Cons: - Death of my wallet: Thanks to artisans, mods and what not, this is just the beginning of the death of my wallet. - No caps lock indicators: Lack of caps lock indicator is an absolutely tiny con, but this was a detail even Leopold slipped in on the FC660C. - Keyboard feet/"slide-ability": As others have noted, this keyboard is notorious for having small rubber feet that aren't too conducive to preventing sliding across slick surfaces - this is probably the biggest con but really only affects people with slick desks tops or those of us who regularly change location. You can find an " hhkb vibration absorption mat " available elsewhere on the web for a reasonable price that significantly helps this issue. - My girlfriend wants one now

I bought a new one, but I got a used item.

Sure, the key press is nice. Cool, who cares. If you find this thing to actually be worth $300, you need to seriously reevaluate your priorities in life. It gets 2 stars because it's a keyboard and it works. I really just wanna give it one star because of how ridiculously overpriced it is. Who cares what kind of switches it has??? I'm typing this review on a (horrible) macbook pro keyboard. Guess what, it works the same. Don't waste your money.

たかがキーボード、されどキーボード いろいろなキーボードがありますが、正直このモデルだけで良いです。 そのくらい気に入っているので、今回が3台目になります。 ・打鍵感/音 軽い&静かです。 ありきたりな表現ではありますが、銀行ATMのテンキーを更に滑らかにしたようなイメージです。 Type-sでない無印pro2と比較すると、その差は歴然かと思います。 無印pro2がカチャカチャという硬めの打鍵音なのに対して、Type-sはスコスコという柔らかく丸い音になっています。 高音のピークが削げたためか、体感上の静音効果は高いのではないでしょうか？ 特に、自室など比較的狭くて音の反響する環境で実感できると思います。 ・配列について "Fn"+"hoge"の操作体系は直ぐに慣れます。 むしろ、他のキーボードを使った時に右手の小指が"Fn"を求めて彷徨います。 UNIX配列と呼ばれる"A"の左に"Ctrl"の配列はターミナル操作など使い勝手が良いです。 そのほか良いところとしては、"tab"がちゃんとしたサイズである点です。 コマンド補完で多用するので"tab"の位置とサイズは重要かと思います。 # "tab"についてはビジネスマン御用達 レッ○ノートシリーズとか酷いですね ・矢印キーについて 英字配列のHHKBを躊躇う理由の一つとして、矢印キー(↑↓→←)が独立していない点があるかと思います。 心配無用、慣れると独立タイプの矢印キーには戻れません。 ホームポジションをほとんど崩さずにカーソル操作できるので、右手の疲れやミスタイプを軽減できます。 職業柄、サーバやネットワーク機器を触っていると矢印キーを本当に本当に多用しますが、とても幸せになれました。 同じく静電容量スイッチのリアルフォースシリーズとの大きな差だと思います。 ・総評 メカニカルのガチャガチャ感が嫌いな静電フェチにとって、手軽に買える物はリアフォor本機種の2択かと思います。 静電容量スイッチの質感は同じ程度だと思いますが、"テンキーいらなくね？" & "意地でもホームポジションを崩したくない"という方におすすめします。

コンパクトさ、キータッチは申し分ありませんが、経年劣化により黄ばんでくるのでマイナス1です。

Pro2からの乗り換えです。せっかくなので、「十字キーうんぬん」とか「ファンクションキーうんぬん」ということは気にならない乗り換え組の方向けに書きたいと思います。 Pro2（US）を買って早数年、Type-Sの存在は常々気になってはいたものの、「Pro2の２万ちょっとでも高いのに３万かぁ」というのと「そんなに違うのかなぁ」という気持ちがあり、なかなか手を出せずにいました。 また、HHKBを使用しているのが会社のiMacで、自宅はMacbook Pro本体のキーボードで十分だったので、「Type-S買ったらPro2が余っちゃうじゃん…高かったのに…」ということもありました。 …が、やはり好奇心には勝てず、「（Pro2は）もう２万円分くらいは十分に使い倒したのではないか」と自分を納得させて買ってしまいました。 結論から言えば大満足です。無印だと割とうるさかったタイプ音（「ガチャガチャ」する感じ）は、「コトコト」という感じで明らかに静かになり、打鍵感も押し始めの抵抗が滑らかになっています。また、ノーマルのPro2でみられた、キーのぐらつきからくる引っかかり感も改善されています。ささやかな部分ではありますが、毎日大量にタイピングする方にはこういった小さなところが積み重なってくるのではないかと。（余談ですがQWERTY配列ではなくDvorak配列にすることでも手指の負担は減ります。） 唯一、「ノーマルのPro2の方が良かったなぁ」と思うことがありまして、Returnキーと左のShiftキーの打鍵感の気持ち良さです。ノーマルPro2をお持ちの方はもしかしたら共感いただけるかもしれませんが、Returnと左Shiftを押した時の絶妙なスイッチ感、あれがType-Sにはありません。静音モデルなので「スイッチ感」を排除していくことは当然なのですが、そこだけはPro2の方が気持ち良かったです。 以上です。乗り換え検討中の方のご参考になればと思います。

打ち心地はとてもよく、個人的にHHKB Professional2より打ち心地はType-Sの方が好きです。 ただ、英語配列のため慣れるのに1ヶ月以上かかりました。

But when you need to use it in Linux, switch it to Mac mode. Otherwise, you cannot use Super key.
