1. Details
- 62 keys
- staggered ortholinear layout
- cnc’d aluminum cases
- colors: anodized seaweed green & bead blasted silver
- cnc’d polycarbonate magnetic palm rests
- aluminum plates
- hotswap PCB’s with USB-C
- weight is ~500g/half without palm rest and ~750g/half with palm rest
- 58x1u keys, 2x1.5u keys, 2x2.25u keys, doesn’t require special ergonomic sets, a TKL set would work just fine
- QMK configurable
- 3D print the plates and try out the layout here
- expected Group Buy: Q4 2021
2. Status
Multiple 3D printed
prototypes and two aluminum prototypes have been built so
far.
5 rounds of PCB prototypes. Currently waiting for
the 6th one to finish and get delivered.
Here’s
an in-depth look at the design process of the keyboard I’ve
made a while ago.
08/30/2021 Made the switch plate
files available as STL’s for 3D printing. Added more
photos.
09/11/2021 Opened issue to include the layout
in the
Split Keyboard Layout Comparison Site
10/08/2021 Third aluminum prototype arrived
10/14/2021
6th round of PCB’s arrived, now with hotswap
3. Pricing
Price will start from 250 and will be sold with and
without palm rests.
Number of units will be unlimited
and GB will run for a month.
Estimated GB launch date:
December 1st.
More details in the upcoming GB post.

5. FAQ
Q: Can you provide a
typing test and more pictures/renders?
A: Yes. We’re
working on all of the above and will update this IC regulary
when they’re ready.
Update: We now have two typing
tests available:
Q: Are you planning to include other
color options?
A: While we’d love to work with
different colors, we simply don’t have the capacity to
ensure they will come out as expected for now. We’re mainly
trying to deliver two solid options and with little to no
color variance between the halves.
Q: Will you provide
a tenting option?
A: Short answer no. A good tenting
option would increase the manufacturing cost by quite a lot
and we’re trying to reach a reasonable price. That being
said, the underside of the cases will have m2 screw holes
that can be used to either screw in different length screws
to achieve a tilt or, if you’re a tinkerer, attach a custom
3D printed tilting mechanism.
Q: I live in X location
on Y continent, will you deliver there?
A: We are
selling worldwide. As long as it’s covered by DHL, we’re
shipping to you.
