The Ultimate Custom Keycap Collection for HHKB Studio

Custom Keycap Collection for HHKB Studio

Designed to unlock the full potential of the PFU HHKB Studio, these custom keycaps are meticulously crafted by Matsuba Factory. From the very first touch, our artisanal craftsmanship transforms every keystroke into a moment of pure bliss.

Feel the heartbeat of the material at your fingertips.

A keyboard is more than just a peripheral; it is the most intimate tool for shaping your thoughts. At Matsuba Factory, we have pursued "authentic texture" above all else. Our keycaps are born from the same 0.01mm precision engineering used to create wooden patterns for automobile engine castings. Each piece is then hand-polished by master craftsmen, guided by decades of sensory experience.

We are proud to bring our time-honored traditional techniques to the fingertips of modern creators.

Premium Ebony Keycaps

Serenity in Jet Black: The Essence of Elegance

Crafted from Striped Ebony, a wood prized for its exceptional density and hardness, this model stands at the pinnacle of our collection.

Its most defining characteristic is its remarkable specific gravity—so dense it sinks in water. This inherent weight and rigidity deliver a solid, pure keystroke, eliminating all unwanted resonance to achieve a sound profile beyond the reach of resin or lighter woods.

The touch is a revelation: the smoothness of polished metal combined with the gentle, organic warmth of natural timber. Each stroke resonates with a deep, hushed tone, calming the rhythm of your typing and refining your focus.

It is an experience akin to sharpening one's thoughts in the depths of a silent forest. For the professional who demands unwavering stability and a distinguished presence in their tools, this is the ultimate choice.

Natural Wood Keycaps

Living Harmony: Natural Warmth and Precision

Crafted from the highest-grade Walnut and Maple, hand-selected in the historic furniture-making district of Fuchu, Hiroshima. This collection represents Matsuba Factory’s standard model—each piece meticulously carved from a single solid block of wood with the "0.01mm precision" inherited from our heritage in engine pattern making.

We use no artificial coloring, choosing instead to enhance the unique character of each wood through careful oil or urethane finishes. The supple, grippy texture naturally conforms to your fingertips with use, developing a one-of-a-kind luster and becoming a "lifelong companion" that ages beautifully with you.

The natural elasticity of the wood gently absorbs the impact of every keystroke. These mellow, rounded acoustic tones transform your daily typing into a moment of pure comfort—as if you were performing on a finely-tuned wooden instrument.

Precision-Machined Aluminum Keycaps

The Pinnacle of Precision: An Industrial Aesthetic

Utilizing the latest CNC technology, each keycap is carved from high-purity aluminum with a rigorous 0.01mm tolerance. The result is the pinnacle of precision. At your fingertips, you will find a "striking sense of cold rigidity," a sharp contrast to the warmth of wood. This absolute firmness allows for zero flex, ensuring a rock-solid fit that transforms the HHKB Studio’s keystroke into a more direct, razor-sharp experience.

The subtle, industrial luster and the satisfying weight unique to metal embody unwavering reliability. For the professional who demands the peak of efficiency and accuracy, this is the "ultimate tool" for your desk.

Coming Soon

Developing a new product that began by abandoning previous concepts

The 'HHKB Studio' developed under the leadership of the US team, is heavier and larger compared to the traditional HHKB, seemingly not designed for portability.

By starting with the concept of abandoning previous notions, the new product was developed without incorporating a roof function and with a depth of 80mm, resulting in a compact and user-friendly design that pairs perfectly with the HHKB Studio.

Additionally, 6mm thick striped ebony plates are embedded on both sides to the corners, adding robustness and a sense of luxury.

Furthermore, the length remains the same at 294mm, ensuring versatility for use with traditional HHKB models.

The concept of the “Guide”

The 'Gesture Pad' a concept central to HHKB Studio's pinnacle functionality, is a touch-sensitive sensor integrated to facilitate intuitive analog adjustments like swift screen transitions and volume control.

Designed to maximize this feature, the "Gesture Pad Guide" enables dramatic improvement in operation simply by tracing the Gesture Pad with your thumb, placed conveniently in front of the HHKB Studio.

The "Gesture Pad Guide" currently pending patent, introduces an entirely new concept that allows users to find their preferred position by adjusting its orientation and flipping it. Its smooth touch, crafted from premium wood, undoubtedly enhances your work efficiency.

Using them together makes for a more convenient and efficient experience

To make the most efficient use of the HHKB Studio, it's undeniable that using the "80mm depth Palm Rest" and the "Gesture Pad Guide" together is an effective method.

This is because placing the palm rest in front of the HHKB Studio can interfere with the gesture pad, making it inconvenient to use.

When you place any other palm rest with the "Gesture Pad Guide" in between, the user experience is expected to dramatically improve.

Furthermore, imagine the experience of using the "Kikkou-Naguri - Wooden Palm Rest," handcrafted by artisans, in conjunction with it.

It's sure to be an exquisite experience for you. That's because we created it with that hope in mind.
