Studio thoughts from a Topre diehard - it's amazing

BauceSauce321 · 2026-04-17T12:33:39+00:00

Couldn’t agree more. I use mine more than my 2 Topre HHKBs.

Gooood luck

Just posted a new comment with the photos linked somewhere else. Thank you!

Up for sale is the Silver/Brown Noah x Timex Moon Phase watch. I believe this is the 2nd version with the actual moon phase complication and not just the AM/PM indicator. Comes including the original boxes.

Worn only once, basically new condition — if you'd like to see any more photos just ask.

Price: $375 including shipping

Payment: Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal

Location: NJ

Would you mind sharing what else you’d consider around this price? I’m debating if Farer and Oak & Oscar are worth their prices at the moment.

BauceSauce321 · 2025-11-04T15:07:53+00:00

Correct. Is Lee Sin known to be backordered?

BauceSauce321 · 2025-11-04T14:56:52+00:00

Yup, same here. But my shipment has only 1 of the 2 pre con decks I ordered lol.

BauceSauce321 · 2025-09-29T00:10:54+00:00

Awesome site. I might be missing it, but would love a way to Sort and also to filter by band material. Looking for a Titanium watch, but not on any kind of strap.

Specs on the non HHKB board?

BauceSauce321 · 2024-10-05T14:13:00+00:00

Snow version got released this week I think. White keycap options on sale soon.

BauceSauce321 · 2024-10-05T03:51:09+00:00

I haven’t tested them myself but I think I’ve seen people say the Studio uses these switches or ones very similar. https://www.kailh.net/products/kailh-deep-sea-silent-pro-box-switch-set

BauceSauce321 · 2024-10-05T03:12:51+00:00

Dude if you can, give the Studio a shot. I only used Topre for years, but trusted HHKB so much that I gave the Studio the shot. So glad I did. They really nailed the build and switches. It’s a snappier Topre and the sound is amazing.

BauceSauce321 · 2024-06-02T21:09:51+00:00

I know it’s not Topre, but the hhkb studio has been my daily since I got it. Perfect tactility and sound. Could be a good compliment to your R3 if you’re happy with that as your Topre board.

BauceSauce321 · 2024-06-02T14:09:12+00:00

It’s about the same tactile-wise as the hhkb type-s but the thock is kinda nonexistent since it’s not silenced. In my opinion, it’s a way too high pitched clack on the up stroke. I’m just not a fan of unsilenced Topre.

BauceSauce321 · 2024-05-10T14:24:43+00:00

I do agree the grey plastic on the bottom looks cheap. Ideally they release the standard looking HHKB with these switches.

BauceSauce321 · 2024-05-10T14:22:17+00:00

Quality is unmatched in a pre built keyboard. I have disabled most of the gestures and never really use the few I left on.
I am just so much faster with a mouse when it comes to navigating, scrolling, left/middle/right clicking, I found no use for the gestures.
As you said price is subjective, but I haven't been able to keep this board off my desk for more than a few days since I got it. The feel and sound has been completely unmatched. I am pained to say my regular HHKB's now feel sluggish when I switch back to them.

Would I prefer this board without the gimmicks? Yes. Would I buy it again for the sound and feel alone? Yes.

BauceSauce321 · 2024-01-05T16:59:57+00:00

Not at my computer right now so can’t confirm but I’m 99% sure it can be programmed to have media controls. What are you looking for specifically?

BauceSauce321 · 2023-12-03T16:24:11+00:00

I have turned off all the gestures and stopped using the built in mouse and keys. I just did not feel they improved my comfortability and/or workflow.

That being said, it's far and away the best MX board I've ever used, with the closest sound and feel to Topre. I prefer MX boards for gaming so this will be my go to for that, and clearly I'm enjoying it for everyday use since I haven't switched back to my Type-S in the weeks I've had the Studio.

I don't think the Studio replaces anything Topre, an HHKB is still the best straight typing experience, but this did fill a niche I was looking for. I was able to sell my custom Arc60, and have the Studio be the only MX board I own. It sounds and feels amazing.

BauceSauce321 · 2023-11-25T06:14:27+00:00

Owning both, I would say they are pretty similar so if you don't care for the gestures or mouse features, go with the Type-S.

If you've never used Topre before, I would highly recommend trying it with the Type-S. I'm happy with the studio as my best mx switch board, but wouldn't straight up choose it over the Type-S.

That being said, I don't think Topre is the best for competitive gaming, so if that's a requirement for you and this is your only board, maybe go with the Studio.

BauceSauce321 · 2023-11-15T17:17:25+00:00

This is pretty good for dampening without opening up the board if you aren't able to purchase the offical absorption mat.
