We have been working on this keyboard for about a year and a half now and it has undergone major major changes throughout the year. It was originally named Eclipse-65 and was featured on both Taeha Types and Alexotos Twitch channels. After hearing community feedback we decided to hold off putting our keyboard through a group buy/ Pre-order and work on the design and the mount type. After Three months of redesigning, we believe we have come with an overall better keyboard.
Case Features

  • Gasket Mount (poron adhesive strips)
  • Two tone color (Matte Black being the bottom case)
  • Anodized Aluminum
  • 7 o angle
  • Case Weight: 1.18 Kg / 2.6 lbs.
    Update (3/23/21)
  • Side Bezels are 5 mm
  • Front and Back Bezels are 9.5 mm
  • Front Case Height is 20.5 mm (.8 inches)
  • Keyboard Length is 32 cm (12.6 inches)
  • Keyboard width is 11.8 cm (4.6 inches)
  • Internal Depth of the case is 18 mm

PCB
The PCB is solderable only. It has a 65% ANSI layout that uses 68 keys. Our previous keyboard is already QMK compatible. We are currently working on changing the name and adding VIA compatibility, this should be completed before the keyboard goes to group buy.
Update (3/23/2021)
We did a small redesign of the PCB on our AutoCAD software to include multiple bottom row layouts. We will post a screenshot of the PCB 3D model . We will be ordering the new PCB to make sure the changes are working 100% and if we get a chance we will post some photos.

To keep the price more affordable we are going to offer two common colors, a full Matte Black and Red top/ Black bottom keyboard. (Less expensive option)
We are also making the third option. Where people get to choose the color of their choice from the provided color chart below. The color chart was provided by our Anodizing manufacturer. (More expensive option)
