DIY Keyboard Introduction: Elekit Launches Two New Macro Pad Models

EK JAPAN Co., Ltd., which develops the electronic crafting kit brand 'Elekit,' will begin shipping two new models in its 'Macro Pad Series' – the '6-Key Macro Pad' (TJ-001) and the 'Tenkey Macro Pad' (TJ-002) – from May 15, 2026. This series offers the experience of 'building and customizing input devices yourself.' These two macro pads are a collaboration with Yusha Kobo, popular in the DIY keyboard community, packaging popular kits. As the need for efficient key operations increases, more users are utilizing shortcut and macro functions. These products aim to meet such needs while also fostering an understanding of input device mechanisms through assembly. Furthermore, users can freely configure key functions through a browser app, allowing for the creation of optimal operating environments tailored to each user. In the growing DIY keyboard market, these products serve as entry-level models that make it easier to experience the shift from 'using finished products' to 'designing one's own input environment.' To ensure even beginners in electronics crafting can assemble them with confidence, both the '6-Key Macro Pad' and 'Tenkey Macro Pad' come with easy-to-understand instruction manuals and soldering practice boards.
