In October 2026, Greenkeys’ most-read articles included timely news such as HHKB’s teaser for a new product and the launch announcement for Lofree Flow Lite 2.
At the same time, topics that could change how people use their keyboards also ranked highly, including a product combining a split keyboard with a trackball and a review of NocFree &.
Let’s look at keyboard trends in October 2026 through Greenkeys’ traffic.
Greenkeys Traffic
Greenkeys recorded 178,539 pageviews in October 2026.
That was a 12.3% increase from September’s 158,961 pageviews.
Excluding abnormal traffic, GA4 sessions totaled 143,121 in October, up 14.8% from 124,706 in September, calculated on the same basis.
The daily average also increased by 11.1%, from 4,157 in September to 4,617 in October.
| Traffic source | October sessions | September | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Organic Search | 98,985 | 85,640 | +15.6% |
| Direct | 40,431 | 31,255 | +29.4% |
| Organic Social | 3,478 | 5,808 | −40.1% |
| AI Assistant (GA4 channel classification) | 838 | 615 | +36.3% |
Discover clicks increased from 73,040 to 104,433.
Popular articles in October may have created new points of contact.
At the same time, we have also seen activity that seems to reflect the current climate, including the detection of abnormal traffic.
We will continue to strengthen website security.
The decline in organic traffic and increase in traffic from AI Assistant also make it hard not to notice the latest trends.
Even so, what we need to do has not changed much.
We will continue to provide high-quality keyboard content and aim to be a web publication that readers actively seek out by name.

The fact that the Orca echo 3D files, the NocFree Lite V2 trackball, and the NocFree & review all ranked among the month’s top content suggests that interest remains high in input setups incorporating split keyboards and pointing devices.
However, these days, I don’t think a product sells simply because it integrates a pointing device or because it is split.
User needs are increasingly diverse, so it is essential in product development to identify which specifications are likely to resonate.
Based on Greenkeys’ reporting and product observations to date, we believe that choices are shaped not only by whether a Japanese layout is available, but also by what changes compared with a conventional keyboard, the effort required to get used to it, its price, and the conditions for local availability and support.
This is not a conclusion directly proven by traffic data, but rather an editorial perspective based on reader responses and product comparisons.
When planning products or communicating about them, it is important not only to list their features but also to show what tasks they make easier and under what conditions they may not be a good fit.
At GreenEchoes Studio, we also offer consultations at the product development stage.
