Atelier Wazakura Rolls Out All-Leather Honkawa 2 Keyboard

Stefan Mileschin · 29th May 2012, 07:12

Japanese accessories maker Atelier Wazakura, unveiled a special PC keyboard for leather-lovers, the Honkawa 2. The keyboard is probably hand-made, as its makers announced they'd ship just 10 pieces each month. While leather decks up its frame, its keys are made almost entirely of it, with markings engraved. The leather appears to be oil-finished. The Honkawa 2 ships with a 103-key QWERTY+Japanese layout. The keys have 19 mm key pitch, with around 3.3 mm key travel, and about 50 g operating force. Measuring 390 x 127 x 21.5 mm (WxDxH), the Honkawa 2 weighs about 600 g. It supports USB interface natively, although a PS/2 adapter is included. Atelier Wazakura is asking 25,200 JPY (US $317.2) for it.
