On October 24, 2026, JezailFunder Japan opened a survey ahead of the launch of its LDK Low-Profile Metal Keycaps.
The survey seeks feedback on preferred kits, colors, legends, supported layouts, and more.
JezailFunder Japan says that respondents who provide their email address will receive a discount coupon code when the keycaps launch.

Keycaps with a metal body and resin stems
LDK keycaps are designed for low-profile keyboards, combining a metal keycap body with resin stems.
On October 23, the previous day, JezailFunder Japan also shared photos of the keycaps installed on a Cornix.
The photos show the look of the Cornix paired with an aluminum body and metal keycaps.
This could be an appealing customization option for giving the Cornix a major visual makeover.
However, the images show a product still in development.
Specifications, pricing, and release timing have not yet been determined, and this survey is not a preorder.

Requests sought for compact layouts, JIS legends, and a 17 mm version
Along with a standard kit, the survey asks what kits and additional keys respondents would like for compact layouts.
The main topics covered are as follows:
| Item | What the survey asks |
|---|---|
| Keyboard you would use them on | Open-ended response, such as the product name |
| Kit options | 80%, 40%, spacebar, numpad, ISO, blank set, and more |
| Color | Black, silver, or other |
| Legends | Alphanumeric legends, symbol-focused legends, blank, JIS legends, and more |
| Additional keys | Keys you would like added to the ISO, 40%, or other kits |
| 17 mm version | Whether you would like one to be made, and which layout sizes it should support |
| Price | Open-ended response on a price you would consider paying |
| Priorities | Supported models, key layout, weight, typing feel and sound, finish, durability, and more |
For JIS legends, respondents can choose whether or not to include kana.
A 17 mm version is also reportedly under consideration, and respondents can indicate whether they want support for 30%, 40%, 50%, or 60%-plus layouts.
These questions are simply a way to gather feedback for development. They do not mean that any particular kit or specification is confirmed for production.
KawamuraAlthough no relationship has been explicitly stated, injection-molded keycaps with a 17 mm pitch have also appeared under the name “LAK mini.” In that context, it seems possible that Jezail Funder may be considering developing 17 mm-pitch keycaps and keyboards in earnest.

Conclusion
That covers the survey Jezail Funder Japan is conducting on its metal keycaps.
Beyond their visual appeal, metal keycaps raise questions about weight, feel, and how they might change the sound while typing.
For compact and split keyboards, it also matters whether a kit includes the key sizes needed for your particular layout.
This survey offers a chance to share those preferences before launch.
If the Cornix installation caught your eye, or you would like to try these on a low-profile keyboard you already own, why not share the kit configuration you would want?
