New accessory complements existing color schemes with thermal sublimation printing

The HHKB Studio is a multifunctional input device that combines a compact keyboard, a pointing stick mouse, and a gesture touch panel into a single unit. This integrated design targets users who value space efficiency and precise control in a minimal footprint. The new keycap set is specifically compatible with this device, ensuring that the tactile experience remains consistent with the original hardware.

Specifications

  • Color: Gray
  • Layouts: English / Japanese
  • Printing: Optional thermal sublimation
  • Price: 6600 JPY (around $40.84)

Buyers can choose between English and Japanese layout options for the new keycaps. The set is available in versions with or without character printing to suit different preferences. For those who want printed characters, PFU uses a high-durability thermal sublimation technology that ensures the legends resist wear over time.

The gray color is designed to complement the existing Ink and Snow color schemes of the HHKB Studio. The availability of both printed and blank options allows users to prioritize either visual clarity or a minimalist appearance. This flexibility addresses the needs of both typists who rely on visual cues and those who prefer a clean, unmarked surface.

The keycap set starts at 6600 JPY (around $40.84) in Japan. This price point makes the customization accessible for users who want to change their keyboard's appearance without investing in a new device. The availability is currently limited to the Japanese market, with no immediate plans for other regions mentioned.
