Founder of Japan Layout Alliance (JLA)
I am the editor-in-chief of Greenkeys, a Japanese media specializing in keyboards.
I am consistently responsible for reviewing, interviewing, verifying, photographing, measuring, and writing about mechanical keyboards, home-made keyboards, and input devices.
We have reviewed more than 100 keyboards and input devices to date, organizing information and providing market commentary on Japanese-layout keyboard compatibility issues.
We have also established the Japan Layout Alliance (JLA), an industry collaboration project aimed at standardizing the compatibility of Japanese-language keyboards, and are promoting activities in cooperation with domestic and foreign manufacturers.
Greenkeys values editorial independence and transparency, and we clearly state in our articles whether we are offering products, advertising, or affiliate status is clearly stated in the articles.
Fee Revision
This price revision has resulted in a significant change in ordering charges for keycaps.
To cite one example, the order value of the Keyball39 was reduced from $60.00 to $42.90 (a 28.5% price reduction), while the order value of the novelty keycap set was increased from $80.00 to $110.00.
Other examples of fee revisions are as follows

|---|---|---|
| 75% | $76.80 | $85.00 |
| Full | $96.80 | $99.00 |

KawamuraThe overall trend seems to be that the fewer the number of keys, the cheaper the price. For novelty keycaps, the price may be slightly higher, perhaps because fewer keys are ordered.

Notice of addition of new “KAM” profile
There was also an announcement on the DISCORD about plans to add a “KAM” profile.
Currently, only the Cherry profile can be selected, but it is expected that the KAM profile will also be selectable in the future.
The KAM profile is a flat profile licensed by Keyreative.
The flat height and slope of all rows allows any keycap to be placed in any position, making it a very good choice for small keyboard users who tend to have an irregular layout.
The spherical design with a depressed center allows the keys to feel as if they are being sucked into the fingertips.
Greenkeys operates solely on performance-based advertising and does not use Google ads because they reduce usability.
