On September 25, 2024, the official X account of HHKB OFFICIAL, operated by PFU Corporation, released a video of white snow falling after typing a blank, with the comment “Comming October 2, 2024.

We expect the snow model of the HHKB Studio to be announced on October 2, 2024 and released on October 25, 2024.
Is the new HHKB Studio “Snow” being introduced before the one year anniversary of its release?
HHKB Studio was launched on October 25, 2023.
It will be fresh in your memory that the new “new line” attracted a great deal of attention as it not only adopted the popular Cherry MX compatible mechanical key switch instead of the conventional capacitance non-contact system, but also included a pointing stick and touch sensor, which were different from the conventional ones.
The product became extremely popular, constantly selling out in the first few months after its launch, with the target of six months’ worth sold in a month and a half.
About a year has passed since then, and “snow” may finally be added to HHKB Studio…
New HHKB products are introduced every year
In fact, the month of “October” is also the month of “new product launch” for HHKB.
- October 25, 2021｜The 25th anniversary model of HHKB “Snow” will be sold in limited quantities.
- October 25, 2022｜Start of sales as a regular lineup of HHKB snow models
- October 25, 2023｜HHKB Studio goes on sale
- Oct 25, 2024｜HHHKB Studio “Snow Model” to go on sale?
Thus, recently, new products were introduced in “October,” which is fixed every year.
KawamuraI was just stepping on the fence to see if there would be another one this year, and I have a feeling that my prediction is going to come true.
Will it get a boost with the launch of HHKB Studio Keycaps?
As you may know if you have been reading Green Keys, we are currently working with Keyreative, a keycap brand, to sell a set of replacement keycaps exclusively for HHKB Studio.
The product is scheduled to be released this fall, with details on the release date to be announced shortly.
With this launch, I would like to further promote the HHKB Studio “new model”.
KawamuraIf a snow model were to be released, it would look something like this. I am looking forward to it now.
