Will the current input cover be compatible with Japanese keyboards?

Hi, is there any reason why, although all these 4 layouts are in preparation and seem to be at the same stage, only the Belgian, Korean and Latin American keyboards are currently advertised as “coming soon” on the online marketplace?
Is it because the Japanese keyboard is in a less advanced stage?
Thanks!

Thanks for the multilingual support!
The Hankaku/Zenkaku key in the upper left corner seems to be wrong. The location is correct, but the printing on the key top is incorrect.
The correct key is ↓
半角/
全角
------

Thanks for catching that! We’ve updated the keyboard and edited the post with the new image.

A bit of a late reply, but the Japanese keyboard (with the Hankaku/Zenkaku key apparently already fixed and updated) looks good to me. Looking forward to it going live!

Great checking, Kenji! Just waiting on the Japanese keyboard to be released, then I’ll hop in line to purchase a framework!

Same, I am only right now held off by the lack of the JIS layout. Great to have an alternative with the option of a JIS keyboard from the big laptop brands!
Now, just another question, can we just configure the laptop to come with the keyboard when it comes out, rather than having to order one later…
@nrp Are you sure the Japanese layout is the corrected one?
I can still see the defective (Taiwan/Chinese styled instead of Japanese styled) 全 in 全角, and also the lack of the kana め and the erroneous presence of twice the kana ぬ
So this Japanese layout blueprint is wrong for the same reason that were mentioned by @Kenji_Iguchi
Also, the date says 2022/3/16 which is before the problems were reported.

What @Mapleleaf mentioned is correct, the errors I pointed out seem to have returned in the “final” print proofs posted. I’m hoping the error is merely on the forum post’s side and that newer fixed proofs have been sent to the factory. Could you check this @nrp?

Yes, we are checking with the supplier on whether they used the wrong artwork version. We haven’t signed off on the proofs for production yet.

Looks great! I noticed no issues on the Japanese layout as far as I can compare with my JIS keyboard. Looking forward to see this goes live!

I’ve said this before, this isn’t saying that these keyboards will be available for sale anytime soon but more verifying manufacturing files so they can have the silkscreen ready to go.
