The keyboards will be available in two color variants: “Shell Core” and “Cyber Blue”. Both versions feature an anodized aluminum body and a special design inspired by the series, including custom keycaps with a retro-tech font. The design also includes translucent, color-coordinated modifier keys printed with images and text from the anime, while the base plate features a laser engraving of the main character.

From a hardware standpoint, the EV63 retains its standard design specifications, utilizing a CNC-machined aluminum chassis and aluminum plate. The board features a tray-mount design that ensures compatibility with aftermarket GH60-style enclosures.

A major innovation in these editions is the use of Keytok Nova switches. These are linear magnetic switches with a total travel of 3.4 mm and a low actuation force of between 35 and 48 gf. The Nova switches utilize a floating magnet design, an engineering approach that is said to provide smoother actuation and a more refined sound when strummed.

Although Iqunix has not yet announced pricing or a specific release date, the keyboards are expected to hit the market before the planned launch of the anime in July.
