This Ghost in the Shell keyboard makes me want to launch a hundred robot fingers inside my regular fingers.

Anime collaborations are everywhere, from Gundam watch and Naruto at night at Major League ballparks just about everything Evangelion. But this Spirit in a Shell keyboards from Iqunix are some of the coolest examples I’ve seen of everyday anime-inspired art. They look sick and write and play well. At $249 it’s a bit more expensive than the regular $169 model, but it’s still a good price for such a great build and unique design.

Standard Iqunix EV63 that to Spirit in a Shell The print is based on a 65 percent Hall keyboard that focuses on players. It has integrated layouts, 8,000Hz frequency response, and quick launch keys (known as Voting) in finding a competitor with limited resources. It is also wired only. These days, wireless keyboards are everywhere, but if you want an 8K keyboard that also has the Hall effect, it’s going to be wired. The standard EV63 has some pretty cool styling, but the two Spirit in a Shell Prints are difficult.

They come in two types: shell core and cyber blueboth were decorated Spirit in a Shell aesthetics, iconography, and art. They have aluminum panels with bright RGB lights, pre-programmed with light patterns that match their color scheme, and five keys for flight, space, left shift, enter, and arrow keys that allow the beautiful light to shine.

While these keyboards are compatible with the new July release Spirit in a Shell anime, their appearance is based on Mamoru Oshii’s 1995 film, with the characters’ faces on several key switches. The cyber blue version also features a photo of Motoko “The Major” Kusanagi’s nude profile from 1995. theater production image on its keys and under it. The result is great for a secret machine, because it’s a black outline on dark gray and broken into a bunch of keys, and it’s more revealing than the original, but I’d still think twice about bringing it to a crowded office.

The keyboards are very high quality. At 2.7 pounds / 1.2kg, it is heavy – about the weight of a 13-inch MacBook Air, but a dense package. Writing on the Iqunix EV63 is very satisfying, especially for the Hall effect board; they are often designed to work more for gaming than hearing and listening. The Spirit in a Shell editions work KeyTok Nova linear magnetic switcheswhich is light and sleek, and the keyboard tray stand offers everything sharp and low. (The standard EV63 uses Iqunix’s Magnetic X Pro or Ultra switches, which I haven’t tested.)

EV63 though can be heard better. It doesn’t sound as deep, warm, or marbled as some of the top non-HE woods out there, like Evoworks Evo80but it has a satisfying clack. The comparison is very similar Dry Studio Ice Ring 63 RTand GITS The EV63 sounds great to my ears. The Chilkey Slice75 HE it’s got a good sound quality that I like, but the keyboard doesn’t look like a little piece of cybernetic technology.

A 65 percent gaming keyboard designed for competitive shooters is simple, and this Spirit in a Shell more versions, but they are amazing. There have been anime keyboards in the past, but most seem a less motivated. I’ve bought my fair share of anime-inspired keycaps, too I think it looks amazingbut it is often an unauthorized intercession. It’s great to see properly licensed keyboards that look, feel and feel great. Made for the biggest fans and special enough for the most passionate. The Major should be proud.
