PFU seems to be selling HHKBs with it now.
I'm wondering if it works well with the HHKB, amazon doesn't seem to have great reviews.

So it's a power/BT adapter and a device stand?
Neat.

I haven't seen any reviews of the enebrick here (mostly just discussion), but IMO this is overpriced and you might aswell just use an alternate controller if you want to be able to use your hhkb on mobile devices. Even Hasu's controller in his GB sells for at most $90 shipped and that's with BT capabilities, if you wanted the same functionality as the one given by the enebrick you can just get his basic controller for ~$40. The device stand isn't really the important anyway as it's pretty common for tablet covers to have their own self propping stand.

I agree, I was just wondering if it was any good.

Judging from not good amazon customer reviews and what people said in twitter, it looks like risky to get enebrick, in particur for person from outside Japan. But firmware updates may be good indication, the latest version is 1.1.1. I think good point of enebrick is its huge battery capacity.
what people said on twitter timeline:

Cerevo firmware updater:

Other options are ATEN CS533, Handheld scientific adapter, Bit trade one adapter or my BT controller.

Anyway, HHKB(Topre) is disadvatage in terms of power consumption and Pro2 Hub ridculously draw huge current for nothing. HHKB Pro2 + bluetooth is insane idea! :p

:( Alright. Thanks for your input.

hasu, thanks for the link to the bit trade one board! looks like an interesting company, and nice to see another adapter like this on the market, and small!
unfortunately i would need to buy two if i want to convert a couple of number pads into a split keyboard, so it's still quite expensive...w
so, my dream is for an arduino hid to bluetooth project to appear, which can handle a lithium source
