Evangelion's Asuka Gets a $359 Limited Keyboard

MelGeek has dropped a limited-edition Centauri 60 Asuka Edition keyboard, and it's the kind of niche crossover that makes sense only to people who've spent 200 hours thinking about Evangelion's most complicated pilot.

The keyboard costs $359 and won't be restocked once supplies run out. Design-wise, it commits fully to the bit: a laser-etched EVA-02 insignia, a Progressive Knife Motif (yes, that's a reference), and a pilot ID plate bearing Asuka Shikinami Langley's name. The packaging is limited-edition, and you get a 2-year warranty to sweeten the deal.

For context, this is a 60-percent mechanical keyboard—compact, no numpad, the kind of thing people who care about keyboard feel actually want. Slapping anime branding onto it is the easy part. The fact that MelGeek committed to specific Evangelion iconography rather than just slapping Asuka's face on it suggests someone on the design team actually watched the show, or at least read the wiki.

The real takeaway: if you've been waiting for a keyboard that screams both "I have strong opinions about mecha" and "I understand mechanical switches," this is your moment—just move fast.
