Hi Gondolindrim,
Definitely count me in, it sounds like THE thing that needs to happen to HHKB community.
While I fully understand the desire to make this primarily for the HHKB 2 Pro, I'd will add my three cents in trying to reason that a version for the Pro 3 (Classic) / Hybrid would be the way to go, perhaps alongside the Pro 2.
This generation, started earlier this year is probably going to stay here for the next decade or more and it'd be worth to future-proof a project as precious as what you're attempting.
I own HHKB Hybrid, use Macintosh ecosystem and I'm about to purchase Norbauer's Heavy Grail, which led me here as part of my research for the end game that could combine all the best features into one.
Personally, I'm of an opinion there's no going back from the Hybrid's extremely convenient functionality of multi-device bluetooth, layout mapping and wireless operation with future-proofing convenience of USB-C.
Only its plain housing and unsightly battery bump drags it down aesthetically.
For that reason, I'd say my personal priorities and an end-game feature-set would be:
- layout mapping / ala the new HHKB Keymap Tool, perhaps extended beyond stock limitations so that Q,Z,X keys etc aren't blocked on the function layer.
- USB-C / HHKB Pro 3 layout
- Bluetooth / 4-device rapid-switching
- Battery / internal lithium with enough charge to hold its ground through a few weeks of heavy use.
I'd be happy to splash $100 or so for such a little wunderkind.
