The Cajal is a 45% hotswap keyboard with a detached arrow cluster, a prominent volume knob, and an RGB underglow ring. It’s heaviest configuration weighs 5lbs, making it one of the heaviest boards for its size. This keyboard is a culmination of all the features that were requested from the Neuron GB, along with some new design features that haven’t yet been implemented in a sub-60% keyboard. I have added programmable indicator lights and gasket mounting system using stoppers to adjust the compression on nitrile tabs attached to the plate in 4 places. With only four plate attachment points, the Cajal was designed to permit flex in bendier plate materials while still providing a cushioned bottom out on a brass plate. By changing plate material, gasket hardness (40A soft or 70A hard), and gasket compression tightness, users will be able to tailor their experience to their preferences. Prepare your wallets for June 1st!
About the Name
More

The Cajal is named after Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934), the father of modern neuroscience. His studies of the brain were crucial to the discovery that the nervous system consists mainly of individual cells, a theory called neuron doctrine. For this discovery, he was honored with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1906. His contributions to neuroanatomy and detailed drawings of neural structures are still relevant to our understanding of the nervous system more than a hundred years later. In addition to his scientific discoveries, Cajal was a writer of science fiction short stories under the name “Dr. Bacteria”, a bodybuilder in his younger years, a talented painter and artist, a doctor in the Spanish Army, and as a child, was briefly imprisoned in a local church for blowing a hole in his neighbor’s front door with a homemade cannon. This keyboard is a minor tribute to his brilliance.
