Introducing 'Build-Your-Own Keyboard': Elekit Launches Two New Macro Pad Models

EK JAPAN Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Dazaifu, Fukuoka; Representative: Noriyuki Morishita), the maker of the 'Elekit' electronics kits, will begin shipping two new input device kits, the '6-Key Macro Pad (TJ-001)' and 'Numpad Macro Pad (TJ-002),' on May 15, 2026. This series provides a DIY experience where users build and customize their own input devices. These two macro pads were developed in partnership with Yusha Kobo, a popular name in the custom keyboard community, packaging their popular kits for a wider audience. As the need for efficient key operations grows, more users are utilizing shortcuts and macros. This product aims to help users 'understand the mechanism while building' their own devices. Since key functions can be freely set via the browser app 'Remap,' users can build an optimal environment for their needs. In the growing custom keyboard market, this product serves as an entry model that allows users to easily experience the shift from 'using finished products' to 'designing one's own input environment.' To ensure beginners can build with confidence, both models include clear instruction manuals and a practice soldering board.
