Are any new mechanical keyboards made in Japan? I know for sure Filco, leopold and clones are made in Taiwan/China.

Topre boards (HHKB, Realforce, etc) are the only ones that come to mind.

Fujitsu have already move almost 90% of their production to be done in China already.
Look at their notebook for example its all crap now.

Leopold, stock stock constraints. Might still be changing supply source.
