HHKB's official X account has teased the arrival of a new product. The announcement is scheduled for Thursday, 22 October 2026, and the teaser highlights unprinted keycaps and a glossy case as notable design features.
The case surface is said to have hairline-like striations, prompting speculation that the case is made of metal, particularly aluminum. The material and detailed specifications have not yet been confirmed, and this remains an inference based on the appearance.
The key layout is believed to follow the conventional HHKB layout, suggesting a 60% model with a 5-row configuration. However, the official specifications cannot be determined from the video alone.
The article notes that HHKB has continued to announce new products in October since 2023. With 2026 marking its 30th anniversary, interest is particularly high, and further information on displays and hands-on opportunities at upcoming events is awaited.
