The project originator is the “MelGeek Team,” which appears to be the original MelGeek in Shenzhen, China.

The application period is open until May 25, 2023, with shipping scheduled for August 2023.
The target amount is 150,000 yen, and the support amount after taking into account the early bird discount, etc., is as follows

As for MelGeek, it was “talked about” in a sense with the crowdfunding of Mojo68.
This time, because the product is sold by an official, the selling price is also considerably lower than that on the official website.

As for what kind of keyboard it is, the video gives a better idea.
In addition, two types of key switches that were used exclusively for the Pixel series are now available separately on the official online store of the head office recently.
This keyboard is probably recommended for those who want to add a pop of color to their desk.
