The event is going to be held June 5th in Roppongi. Eiiti Wada will be there, and if I understand correctly PFU plan to discuss their progress on requested products/features made at the last meet? Perhaps someone more proficient in Japanese could confirm.
The last event was held in September of 2017, it looked like a lot of fun and PFU even brought in multiple HGs including the venerable HG Japan, so perhaps they will return for this one.
It is nice to see PFU giving enthusiasts this much attention.

I'm bumping this thread to hear if anyone has seen reports from it? Any news about possible updates to the HHKB BT? I'd love if they added the possibility to run it via USB, or hide the batteries internally

I doubt they'll bother redoing the HHKB so soon. Just look at the timeline. I think we're expected to lump it!
Besides, we do have our own solution to the problem.

As far as I know, that USB port is for charging only. Correct me if I’m wrong.

What is that red HHKB? I haven't seen anything like it before.

The main takeaway from the event was the collaborative Realforce they put out.the_marsbar wrote: ↑I'm bumping this thread to hear if anyone has seen reports from it?

The red HHKB is some weird one-off lacquer thing they did to the original Fujitsu dome w/slider model.

Wrong It's a backup for when the batteries run out and works perfectly fine. I don't think it charges, I've never tried it with rechargeable batteries anyway.the_marsbar wrote: ↑As far as I know, that USB port is for charging only. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Okay, then I must have misunderstood something. So you're not running it off Bluetooth, but powering via USB? I mean, would it work on a machine without Bluetooth?

Yes.
Correction: No. Just tested it, when connected by USB it still uses Bluetooth, if I disable Bluetooth on the computer, it doens't work.

Right. That's what I thought. I'd like to see that changed. Occasionally I use my keyboard with a Raspberry Pi, and an old iMac G3

Indeed. The USB fallback on my Hasu HHKB does come in handy sometimes. My one remaining port is mostly for charging—no way the official HHKB BT will be a AA battery charger!—but with Hasu’s power switch I can flip between Bluetooth and USB hosts while plugged in. He really did get all this stuff right, unlike PFU/Topre.
