I will be participating in Keyboard Market Tokyo (Keyket) 2025, which will be held on Saturday, March 22, 2025.
As there is a limit on pre-purchased tickets, if you haven't bought one yet, do it now.
I still vividly remember the disappointment of finding out they were sold out last year when I noticed.

Announcements for the Event Day

We will have the 60% Starter Set DX and Creator Pad Set mentioned below available for trial. Please come and try them out! We might rearrange them occasionally.

We also have free pamphlets, so please feel free to take one if you pass by.

I plan to post updates about the day's situation on SNS as appropriate.

I will bring everything to Keyket, and plan to sell any remaining modules online on BOOTH.
If we run out, the number of additional units manufactured will be based on the number of "Receive restock notification" clicks, so if you're interested, please click on BOOTH.

くっつきー (Kuttsuki) is a modular-oriented keyboard that you can assemble like Lego®.
You can choose modules according to your needs, allowing you to add keys, knobs, and trackballs as you like.
You can adjust the number and position of modules, so try out various layouts.

No soldering is required, and it works with just cable connections. Also, we've made various efforts to keep the price down.
Therefore, it's especially recommended for those who want to try various layouts and modules, or for those new to DIY keyboards.

The sets come with temporary keyswitches[1], so you can change them according to your preference.

Each set is ready to use once you provide your own keycaps.

60% Starter Set

A 66-key split keyboard.
In the default setting, the keys are positioned for easy adjustment, with the thumb part placed horizontally for easy typing, and the hub is sandwiched under the base for tilting.
With the layer function, you can easily input symbols and arrow keys, making it recommended for transitioning from larger keyboards.

For on-site sales, we plan to include some extras.

This is a one-handed device for illustrators and video editors. You can swap knobs and keys according to your work. You can also remove unnecessary keys or use larger keycaps for customization.
This set is easy to add modules to.

If you want to add modules to your starter set, you can purchase them individually. Individual modules cannot function on their own, so please purchase them along with a starter set.

Currently, 4-key, 5-key, trackball, and knob modules are available. Depending on the configuration, additional connection modules may be needed. Please refer to the build guide below to check if your desired configuration is possible. If it's complicated, feel free to ask us on-site.

1,100 yen (tax included, excluding keycaps)

This module adds 4 or 5 keys.

As typical for a first lot, the manufacturing method differs by color.
White is resin molded and will be the standard for future production. It's the same color and method as the base.
Cherry blossom and brown are PLA FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling), with a tasteful layered texture and gentle colors.

Due to manufacturing constraints, there will inevitably be some variation between individual pieces. Please understand that slight deviations are unavoidable. Precision is desired.

Trackball

You can connect up to two simultaneously, and adjust the angle of each via software.
It emits a soft blue light.

It also has features like automatic power-off after a few minutes of inactivity, activation of a separate layer when touching the trackball, and speed adjustment.
For more details, please refer to the build guide.

You can rotate it or push it in. It's convenient for creative uses or scrolling.
The knob part can be changed[2].

Information on Quantities and Variations

After making a perfect production plan, I realized just before the event that we're severely short on 4-key modules. As a result, we've increased the variants of the starter set.

You can add your favorite modules to the sets (if available).
If you want the DX, please purchase the 60% Starter Set along with the knob and trackball. It will be slightly discounted compared to buying each separately.

Please check the colors of the key modules on-site. As mentioned above, only white will be available in the future.
