Fyi, at least in the US you can order from the Amazon JP. Can't use your US login for some reason though.

Also, for this price you can get an HHKB and TMK controller from Hasu and have BT plus complete customizability.

Post by: scudley on Mon, 01 May 2017, 11:45:45: FYI 1upkeyboards got Hasu BT controllers back in stock on Friday of last week. $85 for that, $15 LiPo battery and a used HHKB you'd end up saving some money if you want to go that route

Post by: DALExSNAIL on Mon, 01 May 2017, 11:54:31: Battery life and build quality are a bit better if you buy the official Bluetooth. If you want the customization and don't mind a lil DiY the hasu is not bad.

Personally would prefer the official though.

Post by: clickityClackity on Mon, 01 May 2017, 12:28:09: What's battery life on the official version? Mine is great, I recharge about once a week with heavy daily use.

Just wondering, I couldn't love without the full customization.

Month and a half to two months usually.

Post by: clickityClackity on Mon, 01 May 2017, 13:21:58: That's really good. Personally the battery life on mine is perfectly fine. Giving up customizations for that would definitely not be worth it.

When I had one with a hasu BT the battery was fine for me as well, but I just used the stock hhkb layout so no need for customization lol.

Post by: alexofthewest on Mon, 01 May 2017, 18:32:35: thanks for all the replies, well I no longer have all my soldering tools and that really isnt an option at all at the moment, is there a place that sells the hasu hhkb? What would it cost used vs buying the official bluetooth hhkb? A lot of people on here are strongly for the hasu controller one, what are the pros and cons to each. I definitly heard battery life in favor of the official.

No soldering required to install the Hasu controller, just have to open up the case. Only tool you need is a small screwdriver
