EARLY BIRD SALE (COMPLETED)
pssst. Hey! ;D
Are you looking for a keyboard that has bright, polished bezels and rims?
Are you looking for a keyboard that has that sleek, polished/PVD stainless steel weight?
Are you into knobs?
Or that keyboard you are hoping to find for under 250USD?
If YES was an answer to any of the above, look no further than this line here, because the Loki65 isn’t it.
281787-0
No doubt, looks pretty standard right? Nothing special. We’ve received a few comments on how it “looks run-of-the-mill”; how it looks ‘just like 50 other keyboards out there’. The Loki65 does not strive to get Brownie points for posh aesthetics. The Loki65 is not here to grab your attention with a low price tag.
But hey, what the Loki65 delivers to you, is:
-Function and Form
-Versatility
-More freedom to customisation
This will be a short post, but to summarise:
Form and Function
Right off the bat, the Loki65 keyboard encompasses the ability to have its plate mounted in 3 different styles. Top-mount, gasket-mount, burger-mount.

Yes, fellow keyboard enthusiasts, those are actual leaf-springs, and they actually work properly! :))
Full CNC Polycarbonate. Not Injection-molded.
Stainless steel inserts. We wish that metal inserts in Polycaronate boards will become a norm as well, especially in IM ones, so we can say goodbye to thread-shearing. :p
5-degree typing angle because we believe it helps to reduce that stress on your wrists during ‘long-haul typing’.
Versatility
3 mounting-styles.
An array of plate options; PC, Aluminium, Brass, FR4, Copper.
Badge options; 3 designs, multiple options for material and colour.
More freedom to customisation
Different mounting-styles, many options for plates and badges, all in one single board.
Underglow RGB for the extra splash of colour.
