'MONOKEI,' a Singapore-based computer peripherals company, has today launched preorders for its upcoming MONOKEI x Jujutsu Kaisen (JJK) collaborative line. The product line includes two JJK-themed keyboards and two JJK-themed mousepads.
The collection includes one MONOKEI Standard keyboard with a design inspired by Yuji Itadori, the protagonist of JJK. Yuji has a distinct color palette consisting of red, pink, yellow, orange, and purple. As such, the keyboard features a yellow-orange baseplate with dark purple and orange keys. The product also includes replacement keycaps for some of the colored keys, which users can quickly switch between as desired. The second MONOKEI Standard keyboard is inspired by Megumi, a member of Yuji's team and a secondary protagonist in the series. The Megumi-themed keyboard features a green baseplate with dark purple and green keycaps.
Both keyboards are available with three different types of switches, including Cherry MX Reds, Cherry MX Silent Reds, and Cherry MX Browns, which each offer distinct sound and touch feedback. The keyboards are available for preorder now at an MSRP of $230 CAD, with fulfillment expected for August 2023. It is important to note that the keyboards can be used in wired or wireless (with a 30-day battery life) connections with both Mac or Windows PCs. The packaging includes a quick-start guide that will help customers get the peripheral working perfectly with their setup in a matter of seconds.
For customers interested in the keycaps and special JJK style, but who already have a custom mechanical keyboard, MONOKEI is selling the special Yuji & Megumi keycaps set for the affordable price of $110 CAD.
As for the mousepads in the collection, MONOKEI is offering one JJK Group mousepad and one JJK Team mousepad. Both mousepads are available with either a dark purple or bright white background. The Group mousepad features the four main characters side-by-side looking serious, with the exception of Gojo, while the Team mousepad depicts the main cast close together with more laid-back expressions. The four mousepad configurations are now available for preorder at an MSRP of $27 CAD for the small size and $41 CAD for the medium size.
Not only is the MONOKEI x Jujutsu Kaisen collection an excellent way for JJK fans to represent their favorite anime, but the MONOKEI Standard keyboard and high-quality mousepad are top-quality peripherals, even if you exclude the collaborative branding. With the exclusive collection priced as it is, this set is an excellent grab for PC gamers looking to upgrade their desk setup this summer.
