Realforce Launches Limited Edition Gundam Keyboards
Japanese keyboard maker Realforce has announced a collaboration with the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise, unveiling four limited edition mechanical keyboards inspired by iconic Gundam designs. The models are based on the Z Gundam and Hyaku Shiki from Zeta Gundam, as well as the Nu Gundam and Sazabi from Char’s Counterattack. Reservations for the keyboards are set to begin in late December, though pricing details have yet to be revealed, reports 24brussels.
Each model is based on the Realforce GX1 mechanical keyboard, a tenkeyless design typically priced around $250. While it lacks hot-swap capability, the keyboard features capacitive Topre switches, similar to those found in premium models like the Happy Hacking Keyboard and the Norbauer Seneca, which retails for $3,600.
Realforce plans to offer both English and Japanese ISO layouts, raising hopes that these uniquely styled keyboards will be available outside Japan. Fans of the franchise are optimistic that the keyboards will eventually reach markets in the US.
Despite the excitement surrounding this collaboration, some enthusiasts have expressed concerns about the designs, describing them as too simplistic when compared to other themed keyboards available in the market. In contrast, various unlicensed Gundam keycap sets add a more vibrant flair to enthusiasts’ setups, illustrating a growing community interest in custom peripherals.
For many fans, the only remaining question is whether additional accessories, such as matching Gunpla kits, will accompany the keyboard release, further enhancing the experience for collectors and users alike.

- Costco said it plans to open 35 warehouses this fiscal year, up from 27 last year.
- The quicker pace could help the company manage crowding challenges at its busier locations.
- CEO Ron Vachris also said relocations allow Costco to open business centers in older warehouses.
Costco warehouses have gotten a lot busier in recent years, and the company has noticed.
CEO Ron Vachris said in the company’s fourth quarter earnings call Thursday that “the right opportunities have come” for locations that allow the company to reach new markets and increase warehouse capacity in areas where it already operates.
Vachris said on the call that Costco plans to open 35 locations this fiscal year, compared with 27 in the past year. Prior years have typically fluctuated between 25 and 30 openings, which would make this year a comparatively busy one.
The first four locations of this phase include Fruitport, Michigan; Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania; Indian Land, South Carolina; and a business center in Mississauga, Ontario. All four are slated to open in October. The company does not disclose details of future sites until 90 days before the scheduled opening date.
Costco executives have previously described how the company is placing new warehouses near successful ones to strategically cannibalize sales and relieve traffic pressure on popular locations.
“In the US, where we open and we’re filling in markets, we see tremendously quick growth in sales,” Millerchip said. “Not only in the new warehouses, but we replace the sales in the affected warehouses because we’re freeing up the capacity for those members to shop more frequently.”
And this year’s 35 openings are expected to include five relocations of existing clubs.
“The average warehouse now in the US and some of our more mature markets is around 20 years old,” CFO Gary Millerchip said, adding that relocations present “an opportunity for us to refresh and to support continued best-in-class service in those warehouses.”
As for what happens to an old warehouse when the operation moves to a larger space, Vachris said those buildings make good candidates for future Costco Business Centers that serve larger-volume customers.
“They have the right size and parking is not an issue at that level, because we deliver about 60% of the goods from our trucks out there as well,” Vachris said.
New locations also present an opportunity for workers who want to start or grow their career with the wholesale club, which is one of the better-paying employers in retail.
