I do have 2-3 sets of HHKB 45g domes laying around so I'll always have those to fall back on when my HHKBs approach binary-switch levels of tactility.
That won't necessarily help given that the domes changing is apparently a "rubber structurally hardening with age" thing and not a usage thing. You'd need to buy newly-made domes when you want them replaced instead.

But aye, the Hybrid Type-S is an excellent bit of kit. I just wish it had a more split up space bar region like the JIS variant or similar (even just chop space bar into two keys).
I was hoping with them being shielded from humidity, heat, and usage, that they'd stay in better shape than ones that are used 24/7. I suppose only time will tell. What I still don't get is why my Pro 1 A0 is lighter than my Pro 2 from 2017. It's possible the domes were swapped by previous owners, however pretty much every Pro 1 I've owned has been lighter than my 2017 Pro 2 I'm typing with right now, this thing snaps almost as hard as BKE.
