Designed for HHKB Studio
On October 25, 2023, PFU Corporation released the HHKB Studio, an all-in-one device with Cherry MX axis mechanical key switches.
The HHKB Studio Replacement Keycap Set* was developed as a replacement keycap for the HHKB Studio.
The project is planned by GreenEchoes Studio, which operates Greenkeys, and manufactured and sold by Keyreative.
From November 28, 2024, Sanyo Godo Kaisha will begin offering the product in its online store, making it available for purchase in Japan.
PFU Direct, operated by PFU Corporation, sells ” HHKB Studio Exclusive Keytop Set ” as an HHKB option, but the product to be sold this time is called “keycaps” to match the common name.
HHKB Studio Replacement Keycap Features
Created as an all-in-one device, the HHKB Studio has a “HHKB layout” and a dedicated pointing stick, which is why some keycaps are specially shaped.
The HHKB Studio Replacement Keycap was designed and manufactured to meet all of these unique requirements.
Kit Contents
In addition to the base set of KAT profile keycaps owned by Keyreative, the HHKB Studio-specific keycap set can be purchased together with the HHKB Studio keycap set.

- Specially shaped “G”, “H” and “B” keycaps
- 1u-R4 shaped “|” and “~” keycaps*.

Due to the different keycap contents included in the base kit, the contents of the HHKB Studio Kit will vary depending on the keycap set you select. For details, please enlarge the image below.

About Keycap Profiles
The KAT profile is an original profile licensed by Keyreative.
Analyzing the Cherry and SA profiles, it has several ergonomic features such as height, keycap shape, and thickness.
In particular, the “spherical design” of the key tops, which is not found in the general Cherry profile, is indented toward the center of the keys, providing a fingertip-absorbing typing feel.
In addition, the keycaps can be made up to 1.7 mm thick, which has the potential to achieve a deeper keystroke sound.
The material used in this project is 85% PBT + 15% GF double shot.
About the features of the keycap set
Features of HHKB Studio Exclusive Keycaps
- Corresponding to the special shape of “G/H/B
- Support for special size space bar
- Compatible with Split BS and 1.75u BS
Corresponding to the special shape of “G/H/B
The “G・H・B” of HHKB Studio with pointing stick has a special shape and does not fit other than the dedicated keycaps.
Keyreative’s technology was used to take measurements from zero and create the mold from scratch.
Therefore, it matches 100% with the special shape of HHKB Studio.

Support for special size space bar
The HHKB Studio keycaps are a shorter “6u” size than typical to match the traditional HHKB.
However, since the stabilizer is positioned at the 6.25u size, a space bar that is generally available on the market will not fit.
The keycap set developed for HHKB Studio is available in a specially modified size of 6u and a stabilizer position of 6.25u, so it fits without problems.
Compatible with Split BS and 1.75u BS
One of the main features of the HHKB layout is the change in the position of the backspace key.
It is also fully compatible with the 1.75u size backspace key above the Enter key by splitting the normal 2u backspace portion into “1u+1u”.

Frequently asked questions about HHKB Studio Keycaps
HHKB Studio専用交換用キーキャップは日本語配列にも使えますか？
No, HHKB Studio Keycaps is a set of keycaps for English layout only.
Because there are significant differences in keycap printing and size between English and Japanese layouts, they are not available for Japanese layouts.
HHKB Studioの日本語配列モデルを使っていますが、今後交換用キーキャップの販売する予定はありますか？
At this time, it is in the “consideration stage”.
An article by CNET JAPAN revealed the sales ratio of HHKB and found that Japanese-language models accounted for half of the total sales.
In other words, it can be inferred that the scale of sales will be equivalent to the sales of the English array.
Therefore, we would like to make a decision on the sale of Japanese-language layouts after considering the sales situation of English-language layouts.
For more information, please see this article together with this one.
販売はGreenkeysが行うのではないのですか？
No, they are not. Both manufacturing and sales are done by Keyreative, a keycap manufacturer based in China.
In addition, since Sanyo Godo Kaisha has started handling the product as a distributor in Japan, it is also available at the online store operated by the company.
GreenEchoes Studio, the owner and operator of Greenkeys, is not involved in the manufacture or sale of the product, but only in the planning and promotion of the product.
Therefore, the company from which you purchase the product will be responsible for post-sale support.
