Greenkeys is an independent specialist media outlet that publishes reviews, news, comparisons, interviews, and information about keyboards and input devices.
This page outlines our basic approach to product reviews, interview cooperation, and media coverage.
GreenEchoes Studio, the operator of this site, will provide details regarding specific production scope, costs, delivery times, and quotes. If you’d like to request hands-on testing, please see our Product Reviews section; if you’d like to request feature articles or interviews with developers or representatives, please see our Feature Articles and Interviews section.
About Greenkeys’ position
Greenkeys publishes information to help readers determine which keyboards and input devices are right for them.
Our reviews don’t just highlight a product’s appeal—we also cover hands-on findings, differences from competing products, suitability for different use cases, and key points to check before buying.
When there is a relationship involving product provision, loans, advertising, tie-ups, affiliate programs, or similar arrangements, we clearly disclose that fact within the article.
However, these relationships do not determine our evaluations or conclusions.
Greenkeys retains final editorial control over article planning, test items, structure, evaluation, and whether or not content is published.
About Greenkeys Reviews
Greenkeys reviews are not content created solely to sell products.
Through hands-on testing, we organize information about a product’s features, user experience, differences from competing products, suitable use cases, and pre-purchase considerations, with the goal of enabling readers to determine whether a product is right for them.
Reviews cover the following types of information, depending on the product:
- User experience based on hands-on use
- Specifications including layout, structure, connection method, and software
- Typing feel, operational feel, and usage characteristics
- Photos showing the product’s condition and structure
- Short videos to confirm typing sounds
- Comparisons with similar products
- Users who are well-suited and users who may not be well-suited
- Limitations and considerations to confirm before purchase
- Purchase methods from Japan, pricing, and sales conditions
Photos and videos are produced as documentation for readers to confirm appearance, structure, finish, user experience, typing sounds, and other aspects—not to present the product as better than it actually is.
Consultations we accept
At Greenkeys, we mainly accept the following types of inquiries.
- Hands-on reviews of new and existing products
- Reviews timed with crowdfunding campaigns or product launches
- Interviews with developers, brands, and sellers
- Coverage of exhibitions, events, and communities
- Information about product announcements, pre-order starts, and sales launches
- Media coverage and tie-ups
- Joint projects that help readers compare options and make purchase decisions
- Loan and supply of products for review
Media Inquiries and Requests for Article Production and Publication
We accept information about new products, invitations to trade shows and events, and requests for media coverage as standard press inquiries. We do not treat such requests as paid assignments simply because we have received them.
For standard coverage, Greenkeys’ editorial team will determine whether to conduct the interview, whether to publish it, the format of publication, and the publication date. We do not guarantee that individual interviews will be published or that they will appear as standalone articles.
If you would like to proceed with the creation and publication of an article based on a prior agreement, we can discuss the scope of production, fees, and publication terms as part of GreenEchoes Studio’s corporate services.
For explanatory articles based on interviews with developers and project managers or demonstrations using actual devices, please see the section on reporting and interview article production.
Basic Policy for Reviews and Interviews
Greenkeys applies the following policies for reviews and interviews:
- Editing rights reserved by Greenkeys
- We do not guarantee article content or positive evaluations in advance
- We disclose relationships involving product provision, loans, advertising, tie-ups, and affiliate programs as appropriate
- We cover not only benefits but also drawbacks, limitations, and considerations
- We confirm differences between prototypes and production units to the extent possible
- Pre-publication review is generally limited to fact-checking of specifications, pricing, release dates, and similar details
- Emphasizes disclosure and explanation to avoid misleading the reader
For details, please see our Content Creation and Editorial Policy.
About product provision and review publication
We also accept inquiries about reviews that involve product loans or product provision.
Product provision is a means for physical product verification. Such provision alone does not guarantee the production of a detailed review, specific publication timing, article length, number of photographs, social media coverage, English version production, or positive evaluations.
In principle, we offer review production as a paid service when it includes detailed hands-on testing, photography, typing sound videos, article production, social media posting, and publishing necessary purchase information and links to sales pages.
The production fee is compensation for production work such as testing, photography, interviews, writing, and editing—not compensation for a positive evaluation or a specific conclusion.
Product provision without production costs is received as an editorial sample and may be handled in the following ways:
• Introduction in news articles
• Brief introduction on social media
• Additions to existing articles
• Inclusion in comparison or buying guides
• Short reviews or brief hands-on reports
• Storage and verification for future article production
Greenkeys may voluntarily produce detailed review articles for provided items based on editorial necessity.
However, this does not guarantee the same production content or publication timing as paid reviews, nor does it guarantee similar handling for other provided items.
The publication format, scope of verification, article structure, and publication timing are determined by Greenkeys’ editorial judgment.
For specific production details, costs, and delivery times, please contact the operator, GreenEchoes Studio, via Review Requests and Interview Cooperation Inquiries.
Tie-Ups and Media Coverage
We are also available for tie-ups and media placements.
When there is a relationship involving advertising, tie-ups, product provision, affiliate programs, or similar arrangements, we disclose it in a manner recognizable to readers.
Even for tie-ups, we may decline projects that are not well-aligned with Greenkeys’ editorial policy or reader interests.
We do not guarantee positive evaluations or specific conclusions based on the presence or absence of production fees or product provision.
Consultations we do not accept
We do not accept the following types of requests:
- Requests conditional on positive evaluations or specific conclusions
- Pre-specification of evaluations, benefits, or drawbacks
- Requests that do not allow disclosure of advertising or provision relationships to readers
- Requests premised on concealing issues or considerations identified through hands-on testing
- Requests for article modifications beyond the scope of fact-checking
- Requests premised on guarantees of sales numbers, search rankings, page views, or other performance metrics
- Requests premised on ongoing intervention in article content after publication
