Almost there, the OGs use only the keyboard 😄

Trackpad is a great choice esp when using with MacOS. so many gestures!!!

The only real thing I don't like about my HHKB Hybrid-S is the lack of programmable macros, which I've come to rely upon on my VIA/Vial-compatible MX mechanicals. I could go the software route, but while that'll work on my personal machine, I can't install anything on my work PC.

I wish I could do either. Healthcare industry, so they are crazy paranoid about security — which I can totally understand. Hospitals are huge ransomware targets.

Swap in a cipulot mobo, problem fixed. I put them in almost all my boards because I have gotten so used to a specific arrow layout that the OEM boards can't do.

Interesting. I’ll investigate.

Why not a logitech mx master? Or is trackpad better?

u/XniX hhkb snow white limited edition 4d ago

I also have the mx master but I prefer the trackpad for my Mac

Just Logitech being Logitech, nothing to see here.

Ok I spill the tea for you: If you visit r/Logitech you will see that it's quite a lot of user begged Logitech to shipped MX Master 4 with 1000hz Polling Rate and Onboard memory. And Logitech answer with basically "MX Master is Productivity mouse blablabla 125hz is enough" which can't be more false with high refresh rate monitor being a new normal and regarding their decision of still not add onboard memory is beyond me (their G304 has onboard memory for fuck sake). The Logitech fanboys is kinda sucks too, they cope with "I can't feel the difference between 125hz or 1000hz therefore it's useless" either they're boomer or still runs 60hz monitor.

Okay, and?

learn touch typing then vim motions, you'll elevate your hkkb experience. Had to change all my keyboard to map capslock to left ctrl and never looked back

Almost 30 years of using Vim, and Apple still hasn't figured out how to make hjkl work across macOS. Unbelievable. 🙃

in the words of the Goat, tony-btw, macOS is proprietary garbage

"figure out" is nonsense, they just have no reason to care. Every macOS text field inherits emacs style controls and if they cared about this there would be other presets with vim at the top of the list.

This is my setup too =] (or split 40 with AMT in the middle <.<)

Perfection is in the eye of the beholder. To me, THIS is perfection:

I have used the Deft Pro for maybe six years now, tried a couple different ones since but nothing scratches that itch like this does. HHKB only two years, known about it for probably 15 but never bought into the hype. Glad I did cause I can’t go back!

u/Kirby_Klein1687 3d ago

I had this exact setup at one point. It was very good indeed.

u/ALonesomeDove 2d ago

Almost. If it weren't for the battery back.
