Introduction to the brand: First keyboard 'KEY PALETTO'

A keyboard developed in collaboration with programming education experts, designed to be easy for children to use.




The 'KEY PALETTO' was developed over three years, supervised by Vice President Shin Kanesou of Osaka Electro-Communication University, who is engaged in broad research on programming language development and teaching methods.


How KEY PALETTO was born

'We want children to feel more free to explore computers and programming.' This was the motivation behind the creation of 'KEY PALETTO.'



From the shape, layout, font design of each key, to internal structure, developers visited learning sites repeatedly and worked closely with programming education experts to refine the design.



Since children are not yet accustomed to using all five fingers or inputting with Roman characters, they often struggle to input the desired characters with a standard keyboard.

Therefore, the focus was on intuitive usability and fun learning features, along with a confident design that also emphasizes appealing aesthetics.


For a first keyboard, definitely choose 'KEY PALETTO.'

A keyboard that makes learning time enjoyable and fosters children’s motivation to learn.


Four types to choose from, matching your device

Specializes in information science education from elementary to university level, and conducts broad research and proposals on programming language development and teaching methods. Involved in developing educational programming languages like Dr. Little and the educational programming environment Bit Arrow, as well as formulating curricula for elementary and high schools, and creating training materials for high school teachers. For this product, emphasizes a design that balances ease of use for children and ease of supervision for adults overseeing programming learning, supervised by the team including Vice President Shin Kanesou.
