Orders Open for Official Gundam Gaming Keyboards by REALFORCE
A new line of Gundam-themed gaming keyboards has been released, allowing fans to customize their gaming setup with hardware inspired by some of the series most iconic mobile suits.
The Gundam series is a titan of robot anime that has been running for over 45 years, beginning with the original Mobile Suit Gundam in 1979.
While it centers on combat between mobile suits, the franchise is best known for its deep political intrigue and intense human drama.
Spanning TV anime, movies, games, and plastic models, it continues to capture the imagination of fans across generations.
The newly announced hardware is based on the “GX1 Plus” gaming keyboard by REALFORCE, which utilizes a capacitive non-contact switch system for precision and durability.
Four special edition models are available, each based on a different mobile suit from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack:

- GX1 Plus Keyboard ν Gundam Model

- GX1 Plus Keyboard Sazabi Model
