Introduction
Hi, we’re HYTE! We’ve been working closely with Alexotos and Apiary to gather input and ideas in order to produce a keyboard that we think you’ll love.
Our goal was to make a board unlike any other - one that offers a deeper human connection to your PC. Feature dense and designed with community innovations in mind, keeb was built to innovate around a strong enthusiast foundation, redefining the form and interaction for better expression and experience.
We’ve contoured the top of the board with curved edges that feel comfortable in your hand. Densely packed lighting extends your digital world, further immersing you in your reality and keeping you in a state of flow. There’s even more to talk about, but don’t just take us at our word - check out what we’ve been up to so far :)

    1. Design Insight
    Dual Rotary Wheels
    Dual, independent, programmable, and hand-sized rotary wheels that are user-replaceable with a multitude of materials and finishes. Independently reprogram them in the HYTE nexus software; control your window scroll, system volume, app volume, lighting, magnification, and much more with API support! Integrate them into adobe API or OBS API to control brush size or scene volume; use them as you would a mouse and have the freedom to reprogram them for any occasion.

    Architectural Light Blades
    Inspired by the NYC Oculus, keeb’s light blades absorb the light from 64 equally spaced LEDs and softly bend around the casing, doubling as a sound baffle. Sitting behind the frosted polycarbonate, the blades create a diffused light show that envelops the space around you with active ambient lighting. Every action you take on-screen will spill out into the physical world, fostering a more seamless conversation between man and machine.

    Case Design Philosophy
    We started with the idea that a keyboard is a conduit between the digital and emotional world, existing in the physical space. It’s top half was designed to cater to physical touch. The dramatic angles fill the joints of your fingers and the soft-contoured surfaces hug your fingertips. The bottom half was designed to immerse the physical world with the digital visuals we experience on screen. Inspired by black holes, the hand-sized rotary wheels anchor the middle acting as an event horizon, where physical touch creates precise digital control.
