The Happy Hacking Professional 2 (HHKB2) is a minimalist's dream come true; packing
more features than a full size keyboard into a very small package. The HHKB2 still provides
full-size keycaps, and uses Topre's unique capacitive tactile key switches for comfort and high
reliability. PC and Mac friendly, the HHKB2 maintains its wide functionality by replacing
lesser used keys with key combinations, which once you get the hang of it, you may never
want to use a full size keyboard again; the HHKB2 even provides audio controls (Mac only)
and a built-in 2-port USB 2.0 hub!
ATTENTION: Please note that this keyboard has black labeling on dark gray plastic keycaps.
In low lit environments, this keyboard will appear to be blank! The black version of this
keyboard is not available with higher contrast keycaps, so for better visibility, please consider
the white version PD-KB400W.

Topre capacitive key switches are a patented hybrid between a mechanical spring based
switch, a rubber dome switch, and a capacitive sensor which, combined, provide tactility,
comfort, and excellent durability. The unique electrostatic design of Topre switches requires
no physical mechanical coupling and therefore key switch bounce/chatter is eliminated.
Topre, (formerly named Tokyo Press Kogyo), is an electrical, plastics, and metal materials
manufacturer based in Japan. A leader in industrial credit card readers, touch sensors, and
touch panels; Topre's key switches are used in critical data-entry applications that require the
utmost reliability.
