About Greenkeys
Greenkeys is a Japanese media outlet specializing in keyboards and related input devices. Through news, hands-on reviews, comparisons and analyses, developer interviews, and event coverage, we provide readers with the information they need to choose the tools that best suit their needs.
This section covers mechanical keyboards, low-profile keyboards, split and ergonomic keyboards, Japanese-layout keyboards, keycaps, trackballs, and more.
In addition to product specifications, we place a strong emphasis on clearly communicating “who the product is intended for,” “how it can be used,” and “what to check before purchasing.”
Information to help you choose a product, including how to use it
Greenkeys provides information tailored to a wide range of interests, from those choosing a mechanical keyboard for the first time to those seeking the perfect layout and typing environment. In addition to news about new products, we offer reviews and comparisons to help you make informed purchasing decisions, as well as guides to help you understand how to use your keyboard once you’ve set it up.
In our hands-on reviews, we evaluate the device’s usability and setup environment, and outline its recommended uses and points to consider before purchasing. In our interviews with manufacturers, we interpret the design intent based on explanations from the developers and convey what this means for our readers. When evaluating the keyboard layout and Japanese input, we use diagrams and numerical data to provide a concrete assessment of usability.
