Named for the Dolores river in Utah and Colorado,
this board is a two piece aluminum case with a new type of
gasket system that creates a much more even flex across keys
and transmits much less vibration to the case.
- 6061 Aluminum
- Custom 65% hotswap PCB compatible with VIA in ANSI layout
- Custom 65% soldered PCB compatible with VIA with ISO, split spacebar, split backspace, stepped caps, and 7u spacebar
- 13 Cerakote colors to choose for both top and bottom.
- Completely hidden screws internal to case
- 6 degree typing angle
- Top plate is available in aluminum, FR4, and POM
- Delivery in late Q3 2022
- GB starts January 20th at 9am PST
- First come, first serve to 300 500 units
- Price is $585. High due to machining complexity and two Cerakote applications per board.
- Switching to commissions only. Reach out directly on Discord or currentkeyboards.com if interested.

Will be available worldwide directly through my website
currentkeyboards.com, I use Stripe as a payment system on
my GBs without issue.
Being a consumer product mechanical engineer, I spent
a lot of time in finite element analysis testing different
ideas for the top plate gasket system. I quickly found that
many of the traditional 6 gasket systems were much too stiff
to damp out vibrations and the center alphas were much
stiffer than the corners. Some six gasket variations I
tested saw the alphas only flexing 20-30% of what the
corners flexed. Using the plate to integrate flex like many
do seemed to be flawed. To solve both these issues, I’ve
moved to a much smaller gasket with stiffer lever arms at
the corners. The smaller gasket allows more of the vibration
energy to be dissipated into it (as counter-intuitive as
that sounds). I found that with four gaskets in the
prototype the center did vibrate a little (which wouldn’t
have shown up in FEA) and moved to an 8 gasket system but
with softer gaskets. The concept is even better now as the
plate is stiffer and translates more of the energy into the
gaskets.
