On December 5, 2024, KIBU Corporation, the Japanese distributor of DOIO products, updated its official X and announced the handling of the new DOIO KB30.
According to the company, it asked the manufacturer to produce a small quantity of this product, which is no longer available in its home country.
This KB30 is no longer sold in its home country, but it is a very attractive product and we would like to try it in Japan at least once, so we asked the manufacturer to produce a small quantity. Of course, if there is demand, we will consider mass-producing it again.
Quote from KIBU official X
DOIO KB30 is a macro pad with three rotary encoders.
It has even more keys than the KB16 handled by the company, and in addition to an LCD screen representing layers with good visibility, it has a numeric keypad, nine special keys, and an arrow key.
The top case is aluminum and the bottom case is acrylic, and it features backlight LEDs, VIA support for configuring the keymap of your choice, hot-swappable, and a variety of other features.
The connection is wired (USB Type-C) only, and it can also function as a USB hub by providing two separate Type-C ports.
KawamuraAs for needs, it is suitable for those who use keyboards with layouts of 60% or less that do not have arrow keys, or for those who do not normally use the numeric keypad but wish to use it only in specific situations.
As for the colors sold in Japan, there are three types: Grey, Yellow, and Blue.
The price is 17,600 yen (tax included).
It is not available at the official store at the time of writing, but only on Amazon.
The KeyTok Smile Turn to 90’s, which the company sells, would also be a good fit for the keycap.
