Title: Unboxing and typing video of HHKB PD-KB02 - the OG Happy Hacking Keyboard
Post by: intelli78 on Wed, 16 July 2014, 16:54:49

I got this from another GH user. This is the original HHKB, which uses Fujitsu rubber domes with sliders--not Topre. The build quality and key feel is not bad, though--the worst offender is the spacebar which is really mushy. It's PS2 only, and has a stubby PS2 connector as shown in the pictures. It also has a switch on the back to change modes, as well as a power button for use with classic Mac OS systems. I hadn't seen any hi-res photos of these before so I thought I'd document it.

No.

Neither is the HHKB Lite.
