==Description== The primary visual distinction between the HHKB Lite series and the [[HHKB Professional]] series, is that the Lite keyboards feature a rather incongruous placement of notebook-size inverse-T [[cursor keys]]. The Lite keyboards also feature a non-detachable cord that goes from keyboard to the machine/computer, unlike the Pro keyboards that feature a detachable USB cord. Lite2 range of the HHKB introduces USB hubs similar to that of the Professional 2 range of the HHKB. However instead of being USB2.0 compatible, the Lite2 USB hubs are only USB1.1 compatible. Both Professional 2 as well as Lite2 can output 100mA per USB port attached to the HHKB. Lite2 for Mac substitutes the Meta key (labelled as "β") for [[Command key]] (labelled as "β") and adds extra label "Option" on the "Alt" key. In addition to all this the keyboard is offered in a unique colour known as "Snow White". Unlike Professional series whereby Japanese JIS variants are clearly labelled by their full name, both Professional and Lite share the same attribute for only variation with part numbers. The Lite range introduced both Japanese legended and unlegended variants. Japanese legended variants have Japanese legends printed alongside with the English alphanumeric legends. For instance, the letter "Q" is printed with "γ". The unlegended Japanese variants in this case will only have the letter "Q" printed as it is. Japanese legended variants has been discontinued even though the JIS layout is still available. This was possibly due to the lack of demand on kana printed characters alongside alphabet.
