Here, I’ll introduce some of the Input Device I’ve collected over the years that hold special meaning for me.

The most-read review of this keyboard, and the one that best captures its essence, is probably this one by Mr. Saito of Stapa. Looking at the timestamp, it says 2001/3/21. Since I’m writing this on 2026, that makes it a 25-year-old article as of now. I, an old-timer, got my hands on it in 1993—that’s the year I got it. I got married that very same year (it was a cool summer with a nationwide rice shortage, and the import of Thai rice and other varieties had become a social issue), so it holds very fond memories for me… https://teamknox.com/en/tech/gadgets/inputdevices/11_apextkl/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://teamknox.com/en/tech/gadgets/inputdevices/11_apextkl/index.html 　The SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL (2023) - US (hereinafter referred to as “Apex”)—as the name suggests—I think I bought it in 2023. I don’t really play games; back then, I was just using the MacStudio. This keyboard was integrated into The Console” (which I just made up, lol), a** project** I built at the time. Since I use **The **Console” more than the keyboard positioned in front of my 4K LCD monitor, I end up using **this one **more often than the Space Saver I mentioned earlier. Personally, I didn’t intend to use it that much, but for one reason or another, it’s the one I use the most. Looking back, I chose it for rather passive reasons: “Will it fit within the width of **The Console’s mounting brackets?” And since I’m a regular Space Saver **user, I’d simply developed a habit of spending a fair amount of money on keyboards. https://teamknox.com/en/tech/gadgets/inputdevices/12_nextkb/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://teamknox.com/en/tech/gadgets/inputdevices/12_nextkb/index.html 　This might be a bit of an oddball. Well, I have a lot of sentimental attachment to it, so I bought it and just couldn’t bring myself to part with it—I’ve just been keeping it ever since.NeXT I’ll leave it to you to look up the details on your own, but to give a brief explanation: it’s a high-end PC manufacturer founded by Steve Jobs after he was ousted from Apple. I believe it was around 1990. Back then, as a fledgling engineer, I was absolutely fascinated by it. I’ve even kept the catalogs from that era in good condition for nearly 30 years. The PCs came in two form factors: the “Cube” and the “Pizza Box.” The Cube was released first, and I was amazed by its unusual black cube shape and the fact that it ran Unix—a feature not yet available on the Macintosh at the time. Even now, whenever I check eBay, I find myself searching for Cube-style cases… https://teamknox.com/en/tech/gadgets/inputdevices/13_cornix/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://teamknox.com/en/tech/gadgets/inputdevices/13_cornix/index.html 　Cornix LP-Low-Profile Ergonomic Split Wireless Keyboard—I think this is the kind of item that really resonates with certain people. I’ve wanted a split keyboard for a long time, but most of them are DIY projects. Most of the cases were 3D-printed. Then this one with a machined case came out, but it sold out in the blink of an eye. The machined case really appeals to my inner geek, and since the Space Saver was taking up too much space on my desk and I wasn’t sure what to do about it, I decided to order this one from AliExpress. https://teamknox.com/en/tech/gadgets/inputdevices/19_misckb/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://teamknox.com/en/tech/gadgets/inputdevices/19_misckb/index.html 　I don’t have any particular attachment to them, but here’s a list of keyboards I bought based on what I thought they might be used for. https://teamknox.com/en/tech/gadgets/inputdevices/20_cst/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://teamknox.com/en/tech/gadgets/inputdevices/20_cst/index.html Package In use Overall Structure The Scent of “Made in the USA” Combining with Foreign Keys For use with the left hand Kensinton While the company’s trackball often comes up in conversation,CST rarely does. The reason I love this trackball is that it’s Made in USA, and since the ball itself is 57 mm in diameter, you can swap it out for a billiard ball. For a while, you could do this with the Kensinton model as well, but it’s no longer possible—likely because it switched to an optical sensor, which requires a special surface treatment. https://teamknox.com/en/tech/gadgets/inputdevices/21_napepro/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://teamknox.com/en/tech/gadgets/inputdevices/21_napepro/index.html Installation In the design phase Old and New Mounts Installation on the Deck Design of a New Mount The old mount was a little too big. I imagine a lot of people own one of these. I thought I might use it with other devices, so I ended up buying three—but I’m only using one. Still, with its trackball mechanism, programmable keys, and support for multiple hosts (like PCs and tablets), I think it has plenty of uses.
