serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace amid
the storm.
Introducing Serenity, a 65% split cluster keyboard with a
rotary knob.
Renders with GMK Mizu by Rensuya

Assortment of Knob Designs
Planned GB start is NOVEMBER/ 2020.* It will be limited to 100 units which will be raffled.
Fueled
by a burning passion for custom keyboards, I was always
amazed by the unique artistic decisions other designers made
in their quest for the perfect keyboard. Yet, dismayed by
countless keyboards that did not satisfy my productivity
needs, I pursued the creation of a custom keyboard with the
intent to make a compact yet practical 65%, for an
equilibrium between utility and aesthetic. Its split-cluster
design allows for a minimal and uncluttered form factor, and
the rotary knob offers a classy and modern way for users to
control continuous values like volume. A baseplate with
inspiration from the luxurious Keycult No. 2 SS further adds
sophistication to the side and bottom profiles. After
hundreds of hours of intricate designing and development, I
present to you: Serenity.

Layout:
Keyboard as of now is in a fixed layout and will most likely remain winkeyless only to reduce variety and cost. The two keys on the right can be mapped to many pairs of keys such as: Insert/Delete, Page Up/Page Down, and Home/End.
Please offer layout feedback in the IC form if you would like any changes.
Colors / Materials:
Aluminum Case - Black Anodization, 1 to 2 more colors decided by IC form results.
Plate and Knob - Will be offered in the standard shiny and polished gold brass finish. If there is enough interest we may offer a polycarbonate plate or any other material.
Baseplate - Stainless Steel version will be offered in a mirror polished finish. If there is sufficient interest we may also offer a PVD Clear/Rose Gold Brass option.
Expected Price:
The price of this board is undetermined as of now, it will be announced as prototypes come in a few months. Expect this to be $500+.
Additional plates / PCBs will cost around $40-60; we do not have a specific quote yet.
Execution:
Since this is my first group buy, I am likely limiting this first run to 100 units. This means that the units will be raffled, via a form that I will send in my discord. If this group buy is successful, there will be future runs with more units :D
