  • Design*
    Klippe means Cliff in Norwegian. Based on the Klippe T(tray) by Mekanisk, the Klippe S has some considereable upgrades. It is bottom mount, with an isolation layer. It is mounted in a way that makes the typing experience even and has a richer sound. There is now also an option for blocked corners. Klippe S is designed for a firm and even typing experience.

  • Low starting height:* 18mm (lowest on any Mekanisk board)

  • 8 degree typing angle*

  • Isolation*
    Standard isolation in form of a carbon fiber layer for the mounting plate to rest on. This does help elimitinating the potential for pinging and metallic sounds from the keyboard(which can occour on 2-part keyboards). All in all, it is an affordable way to ensure that the keyboard sounds like you want it to, without costing you more than necessary. It’s nothing magic.

  • Typing experience*
    Klippe S has a firm and even typing experience by default, this is due to the plate resting around the whole case. You can adjust flex by customizing the plate and isolation.

  • Weight*
    Klippe S has no weight, however it weighs around 1.3 kg.

  • How to buy*
    As many of you know, I do not start out a new design by selling a large amount of units, then make the kits more available later. Initially there was going to be a raffle, however there might be some kind of FCFS in addition, or maybe just that. We have a little more time to figure this one out.
    First round will have approximately 50 units. The next rounds will have more, and might have a different pricing, design and options.

  • When*
    Pre-order November 2019, maybe december. Shipping early 2020 or earlier.
