PC peripheral manufacturer Realforce announced the GX1 Plus Keyboard Pikachu Edition at the Tokyo Game Show 2026. This special edition model, a collaboration with Pokémon, is set to be available for pre-order by the end of this year.
The keyboard features a design theme based on the iconic Pokémon character Pikachu. The gray body includes a lightning bolt symbol on the right side, with Pikachu's silhouette and number printed on the upper left. The keycaps have a tri-color scheme, with the letters "P", "I", "K", "A", "C", "H", "U" and the Esc, Fn, and Enter keys highlighted in yellow.
This model utilizes a TKL (80%) layout and supports wired connectivity with an 8kHz polling rate. It is equipped with capacitive switches featuring a 4.0mm travel distance and requiring 45gf of force for actuation. The keycaps are constructed from PBT material, employing either dye-sublimation or double-shot molding techniques.
Realforce previously introduced the GX1 Plus, a gaming-focused keyboard that includes PBT keycaps and a detachable cable.
