I recently acquired an HHKB Professional 2 with the HASU bluetooth controller mod. I did not find documentation for remapping the keys using tmk or qmk in one place, but I did cobble the information together and figured I would write it up here. It’s more for my own reference than anything else, but perhaps it will be useful to someone else!

My colleague Barry Archer recently sold me an HHKB (“Happy Hacking Keyboard”). It’s a little different than most other keyboards I’ve used (and I’m a fan of either 60% of 75% layouts). For example, the Backspace key is below the number row, and the backslash key is in the number row. I found I was able to adjust to this and back to the “Normal” positioning fairly quickly after some practice. For example, if I needed to use my laptop keyboard for a while, readjusting my fingers only took one or two mistakes. The brain’s plasticity never ceases to surprise me.

In May of 2021, it will be ten years since we started Stratasan. Even though the Stratasan adventure is far from over, it seems as good a time as any to write up a retrospective.

Back in June I bought a Hill Topper Electric Bike Kit (Ranger, 36v motor). I mounted the kit on my Jamis Sport hybrid bicycle. It’s now September, about 90 days after I started using it, and I thought I would summarize the experience.
