Hello. I used a translator for the text, so there may be some parts that do not make sense. Please understand. Zed and I did the print design for the previous JIS. (I provided the Japanese part). The new print style is not very nice looking in my opinion. I am Japanese and the Japanese font in the n...

I don't think m6 keyboard is appropriate. It looks like it is originally a Japanese keyboard, but the keys in the character section have been modified to (possibly) Arabic. If you know it has been modified and you are describing it, it would be better to have a warning written on it. This is becaus...

I agree that the 半角/全角 keys are more important than the Esc key. This key is to switch between Japanese and English input.
It would be nice if there was a function to easily switch between the Esc key and the半角/全角 keys.

The current era of Unicomp shows that the company is finally beginning to take steps to improve the quality of their output, which I would very much like to break them out of the somewhat negative reputation they seem to have gained for a number of reasons. One of the most prevalent criticisms leve...

It seems that TB2581L (oil type) was born as a low viscosity model from TB2581C (grease type), and then TB2581P was created. Normally, there is no special naming standard for the letters after the numbers.

Below are photos of the new Industrial SSK Blue and 60% Dark Gray key sublimated key sets installed on a new Model F keyboard. The sublimation came out great for both of these colors. Please disregard the colors as they are not 100% accurate. In person the Industrial SSK blue is an exact match to t...

These are just my predictions and thoughts. Unicomp and IBM are in a different situation to make keyboards, they will never reach IBM's quality because Unicomp needs to produce keyboards at a much lower price. I expect them to produce the best quality they can. I think there are many things they can...

I live in Japan so it will be a while before I receive my mini m. I would like to hear from people in the US who have already received their mini m and what they think of it. In particular, I would like to know more about the case and the detachable cable.

Oki switch. This is a keyboard for professionals who need high-speed input, such as entering subtitles for live TV broadcasts. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vSRpF8eTBJ0 Thanks for your directing, almost missed your reply, feel sorry. :D Btw, any idea about why its so expensive? Yes, this was for pr...

I asked them before and they said TB2581P is an oil type. Yes, it is not a spray type. They said TB2581P was made only for Alps Electric and there is no clear successor at this time. TB2585G is the only one currently on the market and they are offering it as an alternative for plastic lubrication. I...

Since I am Japanese, I contacted them.
They claimed that the TB2511G was not produced for Alps Electric or for keyboard switch lubrication. TB2511G was the green grease type.

I am Japanese and familiar with Japanese keyboards. In other countries, Fujitsu some with slider are defined by one type, but not in Japan. pckb8's Fujitsu switches were probably the closest kind of those to the Topre that I'm aware of. Some Fujitsu dome with slider seem to have the feel of Topre sw...

can anyone ID this board? onigiritaroujp-img1200x900-1510212283sag2ir18408.jpg 3h left in the auction if someone wants to make the sacrifice in the name of science. https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/h290279466 those are alps cut outs for the LED's are they not. it looks somewhat similar to the ep...

Hello. I am a resident of Japan. I have contacted them before and they have suggested TB2501S and TB2585G as alternatives, TB2581P is the oil type while TB2585G is the grease type. I'm not an expert so I don't know what these mean. The 2585G is not sold individually and is not normally available for...

Here is a sample of some of the new XT-quality blue printed keys on my f62 compared with corresponding keys on my HHKB. f62: f62_1275.png HHKB: hh1275.png Unfortunately, in the dim light that I usually use when working at the computer, the print on the darker blue keys on the f62 is nearly illegibl...

The enter key on the numeric keypad part of the kana-less icon set should also be an arrow.
I will design the Mac-style JIS keycaps later and suggest them to zed.

I have one of the oldest IBM 5550 dedicated keyboards, which has double shot keycaps for high profile use. It has hiragana and alphabet. And it is a very cool and heavy keyboard. Japanese keyboards generally used katakana more on older keyboards, but there are also hiragana models. I'm a fan of hira...

A derivative of the 5576 001 was also available in katakana. This is certainly not a buckling switch, but the 5576 was consistently available in the series in Japan. The printing on the keycaps is also the same in the series; it is worth referring to the 003 and a01, as they were also brother switc...

Yes, I think you have a point. The C01 and A01 have the same layout. The A01 has many keys in English as standard, but it had a function to change them to Japanese characters by putting the sticker attached to it. The 003 is a tenkeyless version of the a01, but without the sticker customisation opti...

I am glad that the Japanese was well placed. :) As a Japanese person, I feel that the tab key is the standard style of a letter and two arrows. By the way, the most common 5576 style is a01, not the c01, 003, etc. that you are referring to. For the Japanese, the a01 is the standard when it comes to ...

I feel that the position of 」 symbol is inappropriate. This is one of the symbols for brackets in Japan. It should be treated like any other parenthesis symbol. It should be aligned to the left.

I am honored to be of service.
I have illustrated what each symbol stands for.

This is how it was arranged on the old lenovo (IBM) Preferred Keyboard.

I think option 1 is the best. The proper length space key for Japanese is 2.5U. Maybe you guys say you can't manufacture this... My font is a Chinese font and Japanese is not displayed. I think you need to know the difference between Chinese and Japanese to handle it. The same kanji will look diffe...

I have previously used the 5576c01 layout as a reference to create a keyboard layout. This uses a font that is much closer to Ishii Gothic than Yu Gothic. I can provide you with a print sheet that is almost identical to the 5576 layout if you ask me for help. This font is a bit tricky to work with,...

I'd happily second a shorter space key, but unfortunately the previous example already seems to be using the shorter space bar style (the same as the one in JIS Unicomp layout) and I'm not sure it can come any shorter. It is my understanding that the Japanese orders will have a 5.5U spacebar (Unico...

Thanks for your reply. I have quoted the image from your site.
I see That's a very nice looking keycap.(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)
