About:
The Happy Hacking Keyboard Keymap Tool is a configuration utility for HHKB Professional HYBRID and HYBRID Type-S keyboards. It enables users to customize keymaps, adjust keyboard settings, and manage Bluetooth pairings directly from a macOS computer. This tool provides a graphical interface to unlock the full programmability of these high-end mechanical keyboards.
Key Features:
  • Graphical user interface for keymap customization
  • Bluetooth device management and pairing
  • Firmware update capability
  • Settings backup and restoration
Use Cases:
  • Remapping keys to optimize workflow or create custom layouts
  • Managing Bluetooth connections for hybrid wired/wireless use
  • Updating keyboard firmware to access new features
Alternatives:
  • Via – A popular web-based configurator for QMK keyboards, but HHKB's proprietary firmware requires the official tool
  • Karabiner-Elements – Can remap keys at the OS level but cannot modify keyboard's internal firmware settings
