Sales Ratio from SNS (Estimated)
What’s really interesting is which color is the most popular.
Here are the results compiled from X using ‘Cornix + color’ searches.
| variety | Count | Percentage (Explicit mentions only) | Excerpts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orange | 58 | 48% | ‘Cornix Orange pre-order complete! Won the limited edition color battle’ ‘Want to pair Orange with my iPhone 17 Pro Max~’ ‘Silver for work, a second Orange for personal use!’ |
| New Black | 37 | 31% | ‘Ordered New Black. The subtle engraving and texture are amazing!’ ‘Bought black, but now I want orange too’ ‘Cornix New Black, keycaps look fantastic on it’ |
| silver | 25 | 21% | ‘Pre-ordered silver. Was torn about orange but chickened out~’ ‘Domain Expansion at the office, silver for calm’ ‘After much deliberation, I chose silver. It’s safe, but I like it’ |
| unknown | 128 | 52% (of total) | ‘Bought Cornix! Can’t wait’ ‘Managed to pre-order!!’ ‘Cornix is selling like crazy, endless posts’ |
As expected, ‘Orange’ is the most popular.
It seems the limited edition color effect accelerated purchases, with many posts expressing anticipation for matching it with things like the ‘iPhone 17 Pro Max’.
Next in popularity was New Black.
It received high praise for its ‘amazing texture’ and ‘subtle engraving,’ and its cool ‘HHKB Sumi’-like appearance seems to be a hit.
Finally, silver.
Silver tended to be popular among those seeking a calm impression.

Predicting Purchase Trends for Day Two
Pre-orders closed on October 30, and no further sales plans have been announced.
Posts on the official X account also mention ‘stock sales are also planned’.
It is likely that they will additionally manufacture units for stock sales in addition to the current pre-orders, and we anticipate stock sales to begin no earlier than mid-December.
We expect that Day Two will be ‘calmer’ compared to Day One.
However, purchase posts from Day One are likely to still dominate timelines on Day Two, making it highly probable that undecided users will proceed with their purchases.
As expected, the trend for popular colors will remain unchanged, with Orange being the most popular, followed by New Black, and then Silver.
KawamuraIt seems many users hesitant to purchase consider the ‘switching cost high’ due to the 40% layout lacking a number row, as well as the column-staggered layout.
In the future, to alleviate these concerns, I plan to create basic keymapping content based on the keyboard I usually use, such as ‘keys to place on the under layer and keys to place on the top layer’.
So, feel free to dive into the obsession.
Well, I hope this post encourages those who are still undecided.
KawamuraDon’t forget to buy a pouch too.
Have a great keyboard life.

English Summary
On Oct 29 (12:00 JST), Jezail Funder Japan opened the unlimited pre-order for the Cornix LP. Greenkeys analyzed X (Twitter) posts with Grok from 10:00 Oct 29 to 05:30 Oct 30 and counted 402 posts—about 3.5× the previous day—with a peak around 5 PM. Color interest skewed Orange (48%) > New Black (31%) > Silver (21%), and sentiment was largely positive thanks to the no-cap policy (“glad I could buy,” “no scalpers”). The piece predicts a calmer Day 2 and notes the brand hinted at later in-stock sales, possibly from mid-December.
