Crowdfunding of the mobile keyboard "LIFEBOOK UH Keyboard" (UHKB), which was shown by Fujitsu Client Computing (FCCL) at the 1000th anniversary event, was started on July 15, 2021. ..
I will list the points of interest of UHKB below, but I feel that some geeks are already wondering if they will come to the crowdfunding page. I hope you will come back to this page and read it.
The feeling of taking out and using UH's ultimate keyboard
First, about the point that it is almost "UH as it is". See photos of the mockup under development (color variations will be discussed later).
The ease of typing goes beyond comfort to pleasure ...
The keyboard installed in Fujitsu PCs has been improved with tremendous attention by the company's engineer, Hideyuki Fujikawa. The latest model in the UH series, which has set the world's lightest in-house record, has reached the highest level of keyboard input comfort.

One of our commitments is the thorough pursuit of keystrokes. If the keystroke of the mobile notebook is 1 mm, each company tends to appeal, but the stroke of the UH keyboard is 1.5 mm.
Therefore, the difference from other companies' keyboards is that the key input detection timing is tuned and the omissions and erroneous inputs are eliminated to the utmost limit.
Achieves excellent keystroke feeling and weight reduction at the same time by removing meat
The latest UH (2020 model), which pursues the world's highest peak thinness and weight reduction, is said to have "lightened" the "support panel" under the keyboard to prevent bending of the main body. This is because by making holes, the weight is reduced and at the same time the "bottoming feeling (= impact on the fingertips)" at the time of key input is reduced. UHKB uses a cushioning rubber material on the bottom of the main body to further reduce the feeling of bottoming and achieve stability.
Compatible with both Bluetooth and wired
The connection with the device supports multi-pairing of up to 3 devices via Bluetooth and wired connection via USB.
Elegant enough to see
Let's pay attention to the design again. The LIFEBOOK UH Keyboard is designed and supervised by FCCL product designer Masato Hoshi.

The package is also premium specification
Only Kana unmarked model is provided
This is also a part related to design, but UHKB is a "Kana unmarked" of "JIS arrangement". Approximately 95% of PC users and 99% or more of new learners are said to input JIS Roman characters (* according to a survey by Kakugawa ASCII Research Institute in 2015), so it is better than printing "Kana" which is unnecessary for most people. It's better to have a clean key top with only the alphabet. FCCL is also taking the lead in "JIS + Kana unmarked" on PCs, and since this is very popular, it is said that it was also adopted by UHKB.
A keyboard that can only be made by FCCL, which has a proven track record in the world's lightest notebook PCs.
To summarize the points of UHKB ...
LIFEBOOK UH Keyboard is being implemented by Crowdfunding from today (July 15, 2021) at GREEN FUNDING. Super Early Bird offers discounts for purchasing multiple sets from the mid 10,000 yen range, so if you are interested, please do so as soon as possible.
The appeal of the LIFEBOOK UH Keyboard personally is that it is not the evolution of the keyboard as a peripheral device, but the result of pursuing the world's best mobile notebook. With a slim and beautiful body and a comfortable keystroke feeling, UHKB has a feeling that it will become a standard character input tool for the new generation.
