I have a couple HHKB Lite keyboards in a drawer I should sell. They topped the benchmarks here just behind the ultra low travel Magic Keyboard.

- adolph 4y agoAccording to iFixIt teardown, Magic Keyboard uses: ST Microelectronics STM32F103VB 72 MHz 32-bit RISC ARM Cortex-M3 [0] This is a step up from the signal processing power of the HHKB's Renesas M38K07M4 [3] or an MS ergonomic keyboard's NRF24.

As long as chip has USB builtin (and you're not manually bit-banging usb 1.1 out) it's essentially "fill a buffer, send it to USB controller". Now if it has to control keyboard and blink a billion of RGB leds, sure, that helps
- markstos 4y agoYou found the specs for the HHKB Pro, not the HHKB Lite 2. The Lite version costs much less, so I don’t assume they share the same chips. I used the HHKB Lite 2 for about 17 years and had a good experience with it. If there was a latency delay in the hardware, I never noticed.
