Elecom's V Custom VK720AL Keyboard Puts Japanese Input First
Elecom is positioning its own Japanese layout and magnetic switch system as the answer for players who want fast inputs without giving up the key arrangement they already type on.
Reporting from 1 source: ASCII.jp.
Elecom's V custom VK720AL is a low-profile mechanical keyboard with rapid trigger support and a Japanese key layout, built around a large Enter key and a standard key arrangement. It uses magnetic switch detection through the Elecom Magnetic S.P.S Engine, which tracks the actuation and reset points as a key is pressed and switches input on and off at a minimum of 0.1mm. Keycaps are the Neo Clutch design, co-developed with professional gamers. It will be shown at TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 on October 10 at LIFORK Akihabara II.
The keyboard is built around a low-profile body with rapid trigger support, and the layout keeps a large Enter key plus a standard placement for the rest of the keys. Elecom calls the keycaps Neo Clutch, developed with professional gamers so the finger grips the cap but can release it quickly. Input runs through the Elecom Magnetic S.P.S Engine, a magnetic detection system that follows the actuation and reset points wherever the key sits in its travel, switching on and off at a minimum of 0.1mm.
