Layout

  • Left-handed numpad allows comfortable simultaneous numpad & mouse use, and brings hands closer together for right-handed mouse users in normal operation

  • Extra right-side column allows for full nav cluster functionality, without typical 65% compromises

  • Optional 2u delete for more natural homing, and optional right-side 2u enter to hit with your mouse hand thumb

  • Wider gaps (6.35mm instead of typical 4.7625mm) make separation more concrete, and the 12.7mm gap between numpad and 60% block mitigates mistypes when reaching for left control.

  • Plate(s) will have limited compatibility - rather than providing a universal plate, it can be built plateless

  • IC form will mainly be used to refine the specific plate options offered at GB - plate files will also be available for less popular layouts and so they may be cut in other materials

  • Internals*

  • Grommets isolate the PCB/plate assembly from the metal case, and self-align for easy assembly

  • Leaf spring PCB allows for plenty of evenly distributed flex, with slightly softer spots intentionally placed near the center of the typing position and spacebar

  • Aluminum plate & plate foam clean and warm the sound, in addition to further evening out the flex and only slightly decreasing flex overall

  • Externals*

  • All aluminum, with a mass of roughly 2KG unbuilt (case, pcbs, plate) and 2.5KG built

  • Low front height, with an EKH of roughly 22mm (read more about EKH here)

  • 6 degree typing angle

  • Colors TBD, but currently plan on black, gray, silver, and red, with potentially some two-toned configurations as well (or instead)

  • Electronics*

  • STM32 controlled PCB using an ESD & fuse protected daughterboard

  • QMK & VIA support planned, with additional firmware support planned

  • RGB lock lights, with light piping for superior visibility
