Some specs from reviews or retailers · sources

USD is the list price on the official US store (it was on sale for $299 at the time of research). No official UK price was found. The HHKB layout is not standard ANSI; it is sold in US (recorded as 'ansi') and Japanese (JIS) versions. It runs on 2x AA batteries (no mAh figure). The case material and mount style were not published; ABS and 'tray' are best guesses. Keycaps are sculpted Topre-stem PBT (profile 'other'). Blank or printed keycaps can be chosen. A 30 g 30th-anniversary switch variant is also sold.
