Hello and welcome to the GB page for the Eclipse!
I’ve been working on this for well over a year. It started as a 40% “Mini TKL” project just for fun, but ended up with a more versatile keyboard, aimed for the keyboard enthusiasts who don’t necessarily delve as deep as the 40% sizes.
It features a seamless design with a shell-like top part, covering a solid bottom part with an Eclipse-inspired weight. The two aluminium parts are dampened with 6 silicone gaskets for the bottom part and a sheet of silicone hugging the plate and covering the top part, for a soft and flexible typing feel. With a 7-degree typing angle, this keyboard will hopefully be used by those who can’t say no to dedicated arrow keys, but still like to keep the layout and size to an elegant minimum.

    The raffle for this keyboard unfortunately passed (May 31st, 2021), since I was too late to post this GB thread. (I had no idea it took so long for it to be approved :'( )
    This thread will be used for information and updates regarding the production of the units that was raffled.
