Happy Hacking Keyboard's creator, computer scientist Eiiti Wada, understood that for some individuals, typing was much more than a task or a means to an end — it was part of life itself. He recognized that a keyboard is the physical bridge that connects a human's body and mind to the digital world of creation, progress, and innovation.

That's why, more than 25 years ago, he set out to design the ultimate keyboard, for the ultimate users. A keyboard not for the masses, but for the masters. A keyboard built to last a lifetime, with only the purest of intentions in mind. With a HHKB you can feel the difference years of innovation makes after typing for just a few seconds.

Premium Topre switches eliminate key chatter, giving you ultimate precision and a silky-smooth tactile response—no matter how fast you type. If you are a emacs user, the optimal position for Ctrl is the 2 big Alt key on Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard right under your thumbs, 2 of them, symmetrically placed, pressed by a strong finger thumb.

Or, remap one of the thumb keys to space. For the tiny Shift key problem, turn on Operating System's sticky key feature. So, you don't need to hold Shift. Just press left Shift , release, then type a letter key. If you use emacs, there's more advanced way to solve the Shift key problem.

Typing on a Topre keyboard is similar to the refreshing experience of typing on your first mechanical keyboard after years of plugging away on super shallow laptop keyboards, but every single day.

It is supremely pleasant. A feeling of increasing, gentle resistance, and then a smooth release. This is because the Topre switch is a hybrid switch made up of a large spring beneath a rubber dome. Keyboard enthusiasts will often joke that Topre fans are just weirdos who love a membrane keyboard—no better than the yahoos who buy the multitude of cheaper keyboards from Logitech, Dell, and the rest. What sets the Happy Hacking Keyboard apart is its small footprint.
