There is a computer keyboard, called the Happy Hacking keyboard (HHKB). It is a keyboard often loved by “hackers”, and is one of the most idiotic keyboard. Let me count the ways.

Missing 12 Function Keys

It lacks 12 function keys. TWELVE of them! One, two, three, …, four, five, six, and more. Continue counting: seven, and eight and nine. Then, we add another digit to hit 10 in a decimal system. Then, eleven as in Seven-Eleven, and twelve, as in: twelve days of Christmas. Twelve programable keys down the drain! What to do if you need them? You have to press 2 keys: Fn+key. What happened to the concept of efficiency?

Missing Page Navigation Keys and 20 Extra Function Keys

Bygone are the extremely convenient dedicated page navigation keys: Home, End, PageUp, PageDown.

Of course, PrintScreen, ScrollLock, Pause keys, and the entire set of 17 keys on number-keypad are gone too. Sure, you can do without them, but for programers, that's another 17 programable function keys down the drain.

Happy Hacking Machine

Happy Hacking Keyboard is supposed to be used by hackers, right?

No Arrow Keys!

Can you play pacman while eating pizza?

Missing Modifier Keys

Ok, now you lost 36 keys to automate your work. To make up the lost keys, the Control Alt Meta Super must be going strong on the HHKB.

There's Alt and Ctrl, ok, and there's Meta and Fn. Where's my Super and Hyper keys? On a standard $15 PC keyboard, there are 3 more modifier keys than the $260 Happy Hacking. WTF⁈

~$260 HHKB Pro, you have:

1 Ctrl, 2 Alt, 2 Meta, 2 Fn. (the Fn can't count here because it is hard-wired in the keyboard circuitry thus the OS doesn't see it so you can't remap them.) That's a total of 5 modifiers.

On any $10 cheap Microsoft keyboard, you have:

2 Ctrl, 2 Alt, 2 ❖ Window key, 1 ▤ Menu key, 1 CapsLock. That's a total of 8 modifiers, all of them can be individually remapped by software on {Linux, Windows, Mac}.

Non-Symmetric Position of Modifier Keys

If you look at the distance from F to the left Meta versus J to the right Meta, you see that they are not symmetric. The right side modifer requires you to curl your thumb deeper.

Happy Hacking Keyboard Macos

Most PC keyboards after year ~2005 have the modifier keys symmetrically positioned. (For example, all Microsoft Keyboards around 2011. [see Microsoft Keyboards])

¿Designed for unix, vi, emacs?

I presume those who like HHKB are unix users and the reason they like it is due to some key's layout.

• The Escape key is at above the Tab key. The Escape key is frequently used in vi text editor. [see Emergency vi]
• The Ctrl key is to the left of A key. The Ctrl is frequently used in Emacs [see Emacs's Keybinding], and in unix terminal [see Bash keybinding].
• The ⌦ Delete key is above the Enter key. There's no ⌫ Backspace key. To do backward delete, you have to press Fn+Delete ⌦. (On unix terminal, you can backward delete by Ctrl+h and forward delete by Ctrl+d.)

Each of these key positions are actually inferior to optimal. For example, if you are vi user, the optimal position for Escape is where the PC keyboard's CapsLock is at, or, one of the big Alt right under thumb (a design point popularized by Kinesis.).

If you are a emacs user, the optimal position for Ctrl is the 2 big Alt key onMicrosoft Ergonomic Keyboard right under your thumbs, 2 of them, symmetrically placed, pressed by a strong finger thumb.

For why the function keys are important, see: Increase Productivity Using Function Keys.

Topre Key Switch Mechanism

The “Professional” model of the HHKB uses Topre switch.

The “model lite 2” model's key mechanism is rubber dome with electric contact.

Type S

The “Type S” model, is a bit more silent, by adding rubber ring in the key switches.

Bluetooth Version

A bluetooth version came out, in 2016.

Happy Hacking Keyboard Pro Japanese Layout

If you really want HHKB, i recommend the Japanese layout ones.

This is a better HHKB, even if you only type English, because:

• Smaller space bar. (you don't need a space-hogging one. see: Tiny Spacebar)
• Arrow keys. Now you can play pacman while eating pizza!
• Lots of thumb keys at bottom. Remap them to whatever you like.

There are issues to watch out:

1. In Japanese layout, key columns are less staggered than US version (compare the vertical line from Q to Z).
2. In Japanese layout, the Space bar may not be comfortably reachable by right thumb.
3. In Japanese layout, the Enter key is 1 column more to the right than standard PC keyboard layout.
4. In Japanese layout, the Shift key on the right is tiny, and is 2 columns more to the right than standard PC keyboard layout.

Japanese keyboard are like that because there's little use for space or capital letter. See: Tiny Spacebar

Solution to Tiny Space Bar, Tiny Shift Key

For the tiny Space key problem, just use left thumb for it. 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. See: Emacs: toggle-letter-case

Alternatives

if you want spend as much as the hhkb,any of the following, i consider far better.

The Happy Hacking Keyboard is a small computer keyboard produced by PFU Limited of Japan, codeveloped with Japanese computer scientist and pioneer Eiiti Wada.^[1] Its reduction of keys from the common 104-key layout down to 60 keys in the professional series is the basis for its smaller size while retaining full key size. It returns the control key to its original position as on the early 84-key IBM Personal Computer/AT and XT layouts. The current models^[2] in production are the Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional 2,^[3] Professional JP,^[4] both in either dark or light colorways, Type-S silenced variants and blank key cap variants, and the Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite 2 with an additional Macintosh-specific variant and a blank variant for each.

Common features[edit]

Some of the Happy Hacking Keyboard design tenets, as dictated by Wada, include a minimal 60-key design, no cursor or function keys, and standard keyboard pitch, all optimized for use in Unix environments.^[5]

Happy Hacking Keyboards lack a numeric keypad, and keys outside the typewriter key area are mainly accessible through the Fn key. The keys are arranged in a layout resembling the Sun Type 3 keyboard. Specifically:

• The control key is placed where most keyboards place the caps lock. This is the only control key on the keyboard.
• The esc key is located to the left of the 1 key; the tilde key normally found there is at the right end of the same row.
• The delete key is located directly above the enter key; the key normally found there is the second-rightmost key on the row above it. Further, this is a true delete key, not a historically named backspace. Backspace is accessible via Fn+Delete though its function can be interchanged with the backspace key using a DIP switch, using this setting, the delete key is accessed via Fn+`
• The meta keys are located between the space bar and the alt keys.

On the far side of the keyboard there are DIP switches. These may be used to:^[6]

• Turn the delete key into a backspace. Fn+Delete remains backspace, and Fn+` (top-right key) remains delete.
• Swap the alt and meta keys.
• Enable/disable downstream USB ports on USB models.

Its size fits half the size of a DINA4 paper.
