Like Cannonkeys, the American keyboard community almost never updates X….

In conjunction with this, the release of a special keycap was also announced.

• Altair-X: $30.00
• Altair: $27.00

The keycaps were designed by RHHDailo and are made of NicePBT.

Available starting at $27.00, this is a must-have add-on set for Altair buyers.

The keycap printing is also customized exclusively for Altair, with legends such as “(“, “)”, “-“, and “=” that are not available on regular keycap sets.

As for the Altair-X-specific keycaps, they have excellent usability, such as the Operator, designed by biip, with sublegend waved on the Q line.

This area may not match the key layout you wish to set up, but keycaps are fashion, so enjoy the look.

What is expected is that it will be sold in Japan.

At this time, no official vendor has been announced and the product is not yet available in Japan.

However, since split keyboards seem to be very popular in Japan as well as in the rest of the world, it is possible that a GB will be held with Yousha Kobo and others as vendors.

Let’s wait for further information.

I am expecting that ai03 will participate in Tenkey Vol. 6 as a staff member, so maybe we will be able to see the actual machine……..
