How its switch registers
HHKB Professional Hybrid Type-S ships with Topre 45g Silent, rated tactile by this database. Squeezing the dome changes the capacitance between plates; the controller watches the curve cross a threshold. The smooth, quiet, rounded bump associated with Topre boards.
Drawn distances are the norm for this switch family, not a measurement of this keyboard. The animation is the same diagram the app uses.
Sound
On the sound model used across this site it reads as poppy · silky · creamy. That is a character derived from its mount, case weight, switch feel and noise rating — it is not a recording of this keyboard.
