The Planck EZ is a so-called '40% keyboard' with only 47 keys and all keys such as enter and space are the same size. A compact keyboard with a width of 234 mm, a length of 82 mm, and a height of 28 mm. The connection interface is USB, and the keyboard side is USB Type-C only.

All the keys in the orthogonal arrangement arranged in a grid pattern are mechanical type, and the outer frame is eliminated and the floating design is adopted so that the keys can be seen floating from the main body.

There are no numbers or symbol keys, and you can enter them by pressing the special keys 'LOWER' and 'RAISE' on the left and right of the space key and the keys in the top row at the same time. Pressing 'LOWER' on the left side of the keyboard at the same time treats it as a symbol key, and pressing it simultaneously with 'RAISE' on the right side of the keyboard treats it as a number key.

Key switches are CHERRY MX 8 types (brown axis / blue axis / black axis / RGB brown axis / RGB blue axis / clear axis / silent red axis / speed silver axis) and Kailh 5 types (gold / tick gold / brown / silver / copper) , Kailh BOX 4 types (Brown / Red / White / Black) can be selected. Below is a list of key switches.

In addition, the buzzer built into the main unit can also reproduce electronic sounds. In addition, the LED at the bottom of the switch allows you to develop colors like a gaming device.

In addition, it also supports the on-the-fly macro function that allows you to change key switches without soldering, replace any key, reproduce mouse control with key input, and input multiple keys with one key input. I'm doing it.

The price of Planck EZ is 245 dollars (about 27,000 yen) including shipping, and it can be shipped almost all over the world. The warranty period is 2 years.
