About Keychron products that have obtained technical certification and can be used in Japan ▷▷
On June 15, 2023, Kopec Japan, the authorized distributor of Keychron in Japan, updated its official Twitter account to announce the launch of new authorized sales of Keychron K2 Pro in Japan.
(Again, no announcement on the official website )
Prices start at 18,920 yen (including tax), with the RGB light model priced at 22,330 yen (including tax).
As for the key layout, you can choose between Japanese and English layouts.
This is good news for those who have been waiting for Japanese-language sequences.
All are hot-swappable, and the keyswitches are available in Keychron K Pro series red-, blue-, or brown-axis.
The key profile is OSA, and only the English layout is double-shot PBT material, while the JIS model is laser-engraved on ABS material.
- Supports QMK/VIA, so you can change the key layout to your own preference
- Technical conformity certified, so wireless connection is possible in Japan.
- 75% layout with function keys familiar to Japanese
- Keycaps can be replaced and keyswitches are interchangeable
- Japanese-language models are available. However, Japanese-language models have keycaps made of ABS material.
The product can be purchased at the official online store of Kopec Japan and online stores such as Rakuten Ichiba.
The Keychron K2 Pro went on sale on December 6, 2022 from the official sales website.
Looking at recent trends, we have the impression that sales of models with technical qualification from Kopec Japan are often around six months after the official website sales.
With the popular 75% layout, Japanese layout, hot-swappable, and wireless connectivity, this is going to be very popular.
