Introducing the Equinox, a custom keyboard designed for premium aesthetics and typing feel in a compact package.


Beyond the Typical
Equinox skips the plate to offer maximum flex. The PCB is secured by its tabs from below by rubber gaskets directly to the case, earning the name of tabbed “gasket” PCB mount.

Compact and Classy
The winkeyless blockers have been implemented for a classic aesthetic, regardless of the board’s small footprint. An internal weight adds sufficient mass for use at a desk, while the all-aluminum exterior provides durability on the go.
