I have over 40 years of programming experience using a variety of languages over the course of my career to develop real-time solutions for real-world problems.

Keyboards connect us to the world and, as a keyboard enthusiast, I am searching for the ideal keyboard.

As a keyboard enthusiast and someone who works in the automotive industry, I couldn't resist the idea of having a keyboard transformed by the legendary Liberty Walk brand.

Without a doubt, this keyboard is unique, combining Japanese car culture and the world of mechanical keyboards.

I'll be taking this keyboard for a test drive over the next few weeks to see if it performs as well as it looks.

A limited-edition run of 500 keyboards, each individually laser-numbered and accompanied by an authentication card to verify its authenticity. My keyboard is 117 of 500.

For more details on this keyboard and other great offerings, visit [Pre-Order] Liberty Walk x Original Konbini OK-1 Mechanical Keyboard | White Edition – KeebsForAll.

The keyboard looks, feels, and sounds great. However, there are a few surprising design choices:

  • The keyboard is flat. No risers or feet to change the typing angle.

  • The keyboard has MAC OPT and CMD key legends, and does not include Win/Alt keys for Windows users.

  • The linear switches are not hot-swappable. Rather, they are soldered in place.

  • The RGB patterns are typical of most keyboards.

  • The keycaps are translucent white and make it possible to read the legends even in a dark room.
