Interest Checks / (IC) KŌBŌ ISSHI — Exploring Stone as a 65% Keyboard

« Last post by KOBO ISSHI on Sat, 13 June 2026, 11:23:00 »

Hello Everyone,

What began as a simple curiosity with stone evolved into a two year-long obsession.

Today, I’m proud to present the KOSANJI case — a 65% exploration into marble as a keyboard.

Available in both Carrara White and India Green.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Specifications 仕様

	Layout		Compatible with most 65% PCBs and plates, including KDFans’ DZ65 and YMD-65% ZJ68 by YMDK
	Dimensions		340 × 145 mm
	Typing Angle		6°
	Front Height		~20 mm approx.
	Mounting Style		Tray mount
	Finish		Polished and sealed for protection, durability, and a smooth desk-ready finish
	Weight Estimate		~2.0 kg approx.
	Standoffs		Removable — allows users to fine-tune typing feel
	Top Design		Raised forehead + functional pen groove for balance and utility
	Uniqueness		Each case is shaped from a single block of marble, with natural variations in grain and veining — making every KOSANJI case visually unique

Stone Variants 石の種類

	Carrara White		A classic Italian marble featuring soft grey veining on a clean white base. Refined, subtle, and timeless.
	India Green		A darker, more textured stone with deep forest tones and mineral complexity — visually striking yet balanced.

	Each case is shaped in-house from a single block of marble, with natural variations in grain and veining — making every KOSANJI case visually unique.

Inspiration 着想


	I’ve always admired the Japanese approach to craft — treating tools with intention, allowing materials to guide the process, and accepting that refinement takes time.

	Working with stone forced that mindset. It doesn’t bend easily to direction. It reacts, resists, and asks for patience. Precision meets unpredictability — both the challenge and the appeal.

Key Information 重要情報

	Units		50 × Carrara White / 50 × India Green
	Availability		Additional units may be produced if demand exceeds the initial allocation.
	Pricing		Carrara White — $249 USD India Green — $249 USD
	Shipping		$50 USD. I’m based in Thailand, and due to the weight, shipping is costly, but I will do my best to absorb anything above the $50 charge within reasonable limits.
	Production Lead Time		90 days from the close of GB.
	What's Included		1 × 65% marble case, aluminium USB port, and standoffs.

If you are interested in adding this piece to your collection, please kindly fill out the IC form.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………..

If you have questions or thoughts, I’d love to hear them — your feedback will directly influence how the KOSANJI case takes its final form.

Thank you for reading this far. Truly!

I will be uploading higher-resolution images to Discord in the coming days, so please feel free to drop by and say hello.

When Tp4 were Epic poor, he'd not hesitate to cut the whole tip off.

But now that Tp4 is Destitutooted due to the e(onom1, Basically goes in and performs surgery to recover all edible parts.

Even keeps the slightly dried yellow part because hey, it's got starches.

Prettttty soon though, you'd go to someone's house and you see OMG, you guys have ONIONS, what a luxury.

You can also eat potato that turns green or sprouts, you won't die.

I recently purchased an old keyboard with Akko Matcha Greens. I really like the switches and wanted to make another board with them. I can’t seem to find them online. Were these discontinued?

There is no deal. MOUs are not deals, anything like this between "Whole Countries" require "Treaties" that are ratified by the Senate w/ 2/3 majority.

Don't believe the hype. All that's happening is they're trying to quiet the markets to STEAL what's left of public funds, 401ks etc, to pay for their failing STONKS bubble.

They're desperate to steal this money because it's readily obvious, that when you pull THIS MUCH ENERGY out of the economy, ontop of losing Geo-political control over the SOURCE of that energy, it means the total collapse of primacy and borrowing.

Borrowing is all that 'mruruika had, Debt was our only real export.

The tech bubble is wholly DEPENDENT on energy imports. Not only have we LOST the excess energy to fuel that bubble, we've also lost the CASH Injection (Petrodollar recycling) to FINANCE it.

ENJORY Camping / AKA homelessness.

Seems nice. I'll likely pass, but it's good to see that jane mounting points haven't died yet. I've certain people will love it. Also, the tiny emblem on the top case is a nice touch.

Spring onions grow slower than chives but still faster than Grass. If you want the whole bulb though, that can take a while and it doesn't grow back, so you gotta keep buying seeds.

Someone said 2day, that if the Economi is going to poops as is the trajectory, "It'll be like camping."

1 shower per week, 1 big cook a day, no AC, hot or cold, everyone sleeps in 1 room during the winter, and outside in mosquito tents in the summer.

It's like being homeless but not dying.
