Title: HHKB 3?
Post by: ValerieV on Thu, 31 October 2013, 20:37:58

Do you think, or has anyone heard, anything about a new model of the HHKB? I would love it if the space bar was reduced, dedicated arrow keys and bluetooth. Thanks.  ;D

You are asking for an HHKB Pro2 JP, basically. You could always do a bluetooth mod yourself, but I don't foresee that happening with their official products.

Not an HHKB but I Realforce is considering making a Bluetooth board.

Hasu's chipset for HHKB has potential for wireless, assuming that's still a work in progress.

JIS HHKBs are just some PFU marketing bull**** for Japanese buyers... it isn't the layout that Dr.Wada had in mind when he helped create it and the function layer really ceases to make as much sense as it does on the HHKB Pro2

And it's programmable!
