On December 20, 2025 at 12:00 pm, Jezail Funder Japan began the third round of pre-orders for the Cornix LP.
Immediately afterwards, the timeline of X (formerly Twitter) began to be tinted with Cornix colors at once, showing the same popular aspect as the second version.
About 50 days have passed since the last pre-order, and users’ enthusiasm exploded with the long-awaited re-release.
We used the AI tool Grok to conduct a thorough analysis of the posting trends before and after the launch of the sale.

Number of submissions before and after Cornix LP sales: signs of a sharp increase immediately after launch
Cornix-related postings increased dramatically after Cornix LP reservations began.
Before the sale (12/19 12:00 – 12/20 11:59), there were about 80 total, mainly sporadic expected postings.
On the other hand, After the sale (12/20 12:00 – 12/21 06:00), the total number of posts within the specified period exceeded 200, indicating that the keyboard community is at its peak of enthusiasm.
The peak period was from 12:00 to 15:00, especially right after the start of the event, when reservation reports and custom sharing were concentrated.
Analyze factors contributing to the increase in the number of submissions
As can be seen from the above graph, the explosion immediately after the start of sales is the highlight.
Nighttime and early morning sales are declining, but overall, the excitement is reminiscent of the last time they were sold.
The reasons are probably the security of “no upper limit” and the freedom of color selection (orange resurgence).
KawamuraAs for the orange color, we thought it was only available for the second pre-order, but we did not expect to be able to select it for the third pre-order as well.
This may have been the reason why many chose the orange color.
Trend analysis of submissions: purchase reports and custom heat are the main focus
Pre-sales postings are more in the “I’m interested but…” consideration phase.
On the other hand, after the sale, the immediate action group was noticeable, with 72% of the total number of completed reservation reports and custom experience stories.
The table below summarizes the trends.
| trend category | Before sale (example) | After sale (example) | Percentage (post-sale basis) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expectations/Considerations | I’m wondering if I’ll ever get used to the Cornix arrangement.” | ‘Reserved at last! Custom in Orange” | 15% |
| Purchase Report | I’m buying tomorrow!” | ‘Order complete. I changed it to a silent switch.” | 50% |
| Custom Sharing | I’m still trying to figure out the keycap combination.” | The metal version is shiny.” | 25% |
| Negative/Concern | The price could be too high.” | “Anxious but challenging without the number keys.” | 5% |
| Community | Standby for review.” | Watching everyone set up at #Cornix.” | 5% |
The user demographics of the buyers are keyboard enthusiasts, and we have the impression that many of them have already owned keyboards such as HHKB and Keychron.
A number of positive comments were received, such as “a revolution in keystroke feel” and “tenting adjustment is fun.
A small number of respondents also advised that “quieter operation is a must,” indicating the depth of the Cornix “swamp.
KawamuraCertainly as far as quietness is concerned, it is a must if it is to be used in an office.
I personally recommend the Kailh DeepSea Island MINI Pink.
The ” Fog ” that will be released in the future also looks good.

As I skimmed through the Cornix-related posts on the timeline, I got the impression that there were quite a few “buy a second unit” or “buy more” posts.
No, no, no, no, no!

I have reserved my second Cornix Chang!
Silver! pic.twitter.com/BDy2dsTdeO
As expected, many first-time buyers recognized the advantages of the new machines, and many of them became more deeply addicted to them, for example, by purchasing a second machine as a collection element, using one at home and one at work, and using different specifications.
KawamuraWelcome to Keyboard Swamp.
Now let’s see what actual users have to say.
I bought a split keyboard called “cornix”
– Zoltan (@zoll0127) December 20, 2025
I originally wanted a moNa but couldn’t afford it forever, so I was looking around and fell in love at first sight
The metal casing is cool and the orange color is really nice! And it comes with legs as standard equipment
I’m most grateful that they’re mass producing it so that pimps like me can buy one too… pic.twitter.com/Y8EjJWzyHG
Cornix is now available for pre-order! I have two of them, one for home and one for the office, so I don’t really need them, do I? But then I thought, “What if it breaks? I’m not sure I’ll need it. https://t.co/pWHJOWmZOf

summary
These are just a few of the social networking sites that we have been reporting on the first day of the third round of Cornix LP pre-order sales.
As far as I have been able to tally until 6:00 AM today (12/21), momentum continues unabated.
Most of these column staggered layout keyboards with left-right split and full wireless support are “home-built keyboards,” and I got the impression that many people were interested in them but could not take on the challenge because of hurdles such as “soldering” and “writing firmware,” which are required items.
We have the impression that the Cornix LP has exploded in popularity because it is a “pre-completed custom keyboard” that can be used from the day it arrives, attracting an audience that was interested in the product.
Reservations are available until 10:00 p.m. on January 5, 2026.
