ePbt - Wapuro - THE REVIVAL

The ePbt Wapuro THE REVIVAL is a keyset inspired by the Japanese word processors developed in the 1980s, specifically the Sharp WD-A330 and Sony PJ-100. This keyset pays homage to the Wāpuro rōmaji input system, which allows users to type Japanese characters using a QWERTY keyboard with Roman letters. It features standardized inputs through the JIS system, similar to ANSI and ISO standards. The design elements and logo font reflect the aesthetics of 80s word processors. The keyset is produced by ePbt, offering customization and kitting options at a more affordable price compared to other manufacturing choices. It includes unique features like two sets of enter keys, one inspired by the original keyboard and another in katakana.
