Keychron and Illustrator lack Open Survey for Collaboration Keyboard
The collaboration runs through a public survey rather than a finished product, so the keyboard's design and layout will be shaped by user responses collected before development is complete.

Copec Japan said on October 21 that a product development project has begun for a collaboration keyboard between Keychron and illustrator lack. The keyboard is still in development. A user-participation survey runs until November 15 and will feed into design, key layout, typing feel, and switch configuration. The project reportedly started from a lack post on X asking for a left-hand device.
The project reportedly began with a lack post on X saying "I want a left-hand device like this." Keychron, founded in 2017, makes mechanical keyboards and PC peripherals; its K2 HE was named a CES Innovation Awards 2025 Honoree and its Q1 Max was a European Hardware Awards 2024 Best Gaming Keyboard finalist. In Japan the brand is sold at Yodobashi Camera and Bic Camera.
The survey, open until November 15, asks users what they want from the keyboard. Copec Japan plans to reflect those responses in the design, key layout, typing feel, and switch configuration.
