Lunar II
Second generation compact AEK keyboard
by Switchplate Peripherals and ai03
Building upon the
legacy of the first generation design, Lunar II brings the
acclaimed curved design to a more accessible price, complete
with an entirely seamless exterior, increased typing
comfort, and solenoid support.

A worthy successor
Lunar II takes user feedback
into mind as it improves upon the first generation
design.
The curvature has been refreshed completely to
reduce the front ledge height for easier typing, and the
1.2mm aluminum plate balances typing comfort, acoustics, and
ease of assembly.
A weight has been added for
additional heft and aesthetic accent while retaining the low
typing angle.
Zero-seam design
Whereas the original Lunar hid
the seam on the bottomside, Lunar II removes the seam
completely with a single-piece case, with nothing to break
the continuous smooth curvature.
A carefully engineered
mounting method secures the plate to the case via
O-ring-tipped standoffs, allowing for maximized flex on the
typing surface without the stiffness of a typical tray
mount.
Making noise
Solenoid support allows you to cue
audible feedback at will.
Use the electromagnetic
hammer to add clickiness to your favorite tactile or linear
switch without changing feel, or supplement and amplify the
sound of your clicky switches to a further level.
When
in need of quiet, simply toggle the solenoid off.
Alps for all
The Lunar II brings the mini-AEK
form to a more affordable price point with easier
assembly.
Lunar II only requires a single Apple
Extended Keyboards worth of keycaps and stabilizers to
build, making the task of sourcing parts much easier than
the original.
Choose between the unified and split
backspace plate options to tailor the build to your
needs.

Advice and Notes:
Tweezers may be helpful for hooking the stabilizer
wires.
Prepare and test all switches before
building.
Solenoid installation requires slightly
advanced soldering and assembly. Tweezers and soldering
helping hands may be useful.
The prototype case is an
early unit; a solenoid cutout has been added in a later
revision.
