Hello!
I am pleased to announce the start of the Group Buy for my Krado66 project.
Krado66
A “destaggered” ortholinear keyboard that uses standard 65% layout keys


The goal of my project was to create an ortholinear keyboard that uses standard modifiers found in common keycap base kits. I went with a 65%-ish design because I like arrows and it seems to have common compatibility. There were some other cool projects with a similar “destaggering” concept, but they were each a little different from what I was looking for in terms of layout, compatibility and aesthetics, so I made my own.
For those that are wondering, “Krado” means “grid” in Esperanto. The board has 66 keys in its default layout.

    */The GB will close early if numbers are met. While I would love to make it unlimited, this is my first time running a GB and I want to be able to fund the manufacturing out of pocket in the event that payment processors withhold funds. Overall I would like to keep the total number of orders around or below 100.
