Post by: rgleas on Fri, 24 July 2020, 10:13:21: May I ask, what is the difference between:
A.) Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional Type-S
and
B.) Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional Hybrid Type-S
?

Thanks!

Awesome thanks for the help. Do you think USB-C is worth the extra? I can care less about Bluetooth, and shouldn't need to remap anything.

If you only want the USB-C, might I recommend the classic? It's the same as the hybrid without Bluetooth (and there is a workaround for remappability if need be)

Preference. Get a sample, and if you like the BKE domes more, swap em in
