The Cornix LP restock opened with a sharper edge than a simple refill: Jezail Funder Japan set the sale for 10:00 AM on May 2 with limited quantity, a higher price tag of ¥29,500, and stock that would end the moment it was gone. The jump from the current ¥26,900 listing is enough to change the math for anyone who had been waiting on the sidelines, especially with the board already shown as sold out on the shop page before the new window. Greenkeys also flagged orange as especially scarce, with no clear plan to reproduce that finish after this batch runs out.

That scarcity matters because Cornix LP is not a generic low-profile board. It is a 40% left-right split, column-staggered keyboard with full wireless support, plus USB-C wired use for people who still want a cable in the kit bag. The official product page lists tenting angles of 6°, 12°, 18° and 24°, Bluetooth pairing for up to three devices, a 650mAh battery per half and Kailh Choc V2 Spring switches. In a community that spends as much time thinking about desk footprint and travel setup as typing feel, Cornix LP hits a rare overlap: compact, ergonomic and untethered.

That combination is exactly why the board has kept popping back into the conversation. Greenkeys said Cornix LP was originally group-bought at Yousha Kobo from May 23 to June 5, 2025, then surfaced again in Japan through later coverage and short-lived sales. An extra-stock sale on October 11, 2025 sold out in minutes, and a Yousha Kobo mail-order run followed on October 18 at 5:00 p.m. The pattern has been consistent: whenever Cornix LP appears, the available window closes fast.

That history makes the May 2 restock a decision point, not a casual browse. Buyers who want the orange finish have the strongest reason to move immediately, since Greenkeys said it may not be reproduced after this batch. Buyers who only want a functional split wireless low-profile board can wait for another color, but they are also betting against another quick sellout and against another price increase later. The bigger question for split-build planners is whether to treat this as a one-board purchase or as a chance to secure a second unit for a matching pair, a backup, or a mirrored setup before the batch disappears. With limited color choice, a higher price and a history of rapid sell-through, Cornix LP entered this restock as collector hardware first and availability news second.
