wait so…
Classic: Mostly what we know and love
- USB-C port (yay)
- Removed USB Hub (not the biggest lost, but a loss for some)
Hybrid: *Basically the HHKB BT, but better
- A HHKB BT but now can pair with 4 devices instead of 1
- Programmable (hopefully the program well)
Hybrid Type-S: It’s just the Hybrid with silencing sliders.
Am I missing anything?
Initial Thoughts:
Hmmm. Will they discontinue the normal type-S? Will this new paradigm mean the only way to have a HHKB with silencing will be the hybrid type-S? No Classic Type S avail?
With the classic, basically all programmability is lost. I assume they’ve redone the internals and there won’t be a daughterboard like the old one anymore. This means no Hasu controllers (plus, port wouldn’t fit). Until we see some internals, I wonder if a future hasu controller would even be possible since I’m sure some people would prefer to program their HHKBs with TMK/QMK instead of whatever proprietary system is going to be happening here.
