[ITmedia PC USER] Enter comfortable long text on long autumn nights - PFU "HHKB" series is on sale starting from 23,560 yen!

PFU is exhibiting its self-developed high-end compact keyboard ``Happy Hacking Keyboard'' (hereinafter referred to as HHKB) series at Amazon Japan's ``Amazon Prime Thanksgiving'' event.

The target products are "HHKB Studio", "HHKB Professional HYBRID Type-S", "HHKB Professional Classic Type-S", and "HHKB Professional HYBRID", and the discount rate is up to 26%. The key layout, which requires minimal finger movement, is so comfortable that once you get used to it, you won't be able to go back to other keyboards.

The sale period ends at 11:59 pm on October 19th, but popular products may sell out during the period. Why not take this opportunity to take a look at the store?

All-in-one “HHKB Studio” is a great deal

``HHKB Studio'' is a model with a pointing stick in the center of the keyboard and gesture pads on the left, right, and front sides, based on the concept of ``creating infinitely with minimal movement.'' From the home position, your fingers can reach all the keys without moving your hands, and you can even operate the mouse.

It supports connection via Bluetooth and USB Type-C cable, and can be paired with up to 4 devices via Bluetooth. Since you can quickly switch between connection destinations, even people who use multiple devices will only need one keyboard, which will reduce their luggage.

The key switch is mechanical and hot-swappable. There are several genuine keycap options available, and you can also make your own using publicly available 3D data. It's also nice to be able to reassign all keys and create it to your liking using the dedicated keymap change tool "HHKB Studio Keymap Tool."

The price is 10% off at 39,600 yen, which is normally 44,000 yen.

“HHKB Professional HYBRID Type-S” is a great deal

"HHKB Professional HYBRID Type-S" is HHKB's flagship model that covers all the functions required of a keyboard, such as a hybrid connection between Bluetooth and USB, high quietness, and the ability to change the key map.

You can create a one-of-a-kind keyboard by placing the "Ctrl" key, "Fn" key, "half-width/full-width" keys, etc. in the desired position using the dedicated key map change tool. The settings are saved in the keyboard's memory, so even if you change the connection destination, you can type with the same feeling as usual.

A total of 10 models are on sale. The English version has 6 models with and without markings, ink/white/snow, and the Japanese version has 4 models: ink/white/snow with markings and snow without markings.

Currently, PFU is running a campaign to give away a ``Key Top Set (White) Japanese Layout/Unengraved'' to those who purchase the engraved model with the Japanese layout. Purchases at the Amazon Prime Thanksgiving sale price are also eligible, so this is your chance to start your unengraved debut at a bargain price.

Both models are normally priced at 36,850 yen, but can be purchased for approximately 10% off at 33,000 yen.

“HHKB Professional Classic Type-S” is a great deal

The HHKB Professional Classic Type-S is recommended for those who only use wired keyboards and want a keyboard that is easy to carry around. The only connection is USB Type-C and there is no battery box, so the main body is clean, light, and easy to carry.

Based on the legendary model ``HHKB Professional Classic'', it uses the same ``Type-S'' key structure as the top model, and the key tops have central printing for a modern and stylish finish. A new Japanese layout has also been prepared, making it perfect for those who have been unable to get started with only the English layout.

The sale includes a total of 6 models in black/white/snow in English and Japanese layouts. Both are normally priced at 31,900 yen, but during the sale period they will be priced at 26,400 yen, a 17% discount.

“HHKB Professional HYBRID” is a great deal

"HHKB Professional HYBRID" is an easy-to-use compact keyboard that can be connected via both USB Type-C and Bluetooth. It uses a capacitive non-contact switch that doesn't feel like it's bottoming out, allowing you to type comfortably even with deep strokes.

The minimalist key layout allows you to reach all keys without moving your hand from the home position, making it easy to use even for people with small hands. Another appeal is that you can type quickly because the distance your fingers have to move is short.

This sale is only for ink models with English layout and no engraving. Normally priced at 31,900 yen, you can purchase it for 23,560 yen, a 26% discount.
