Hi yall, _ookies here
For quite some time now, I’ve been looking for a 65% board. However, I can’t seem to find one with all the features I want in a board.
So I decided to make my own keyboard, taking inspiration from previous designs and combining it into one neat package.
Inspiration This board is the combination of several features that I liked from other boards. The Plateless/PCB mount of the 7V(Gok), the leaf spring design from nemui(Bachoo), the accent/pen bar from j-02(Jae), Etc.
Specs:

  • 6.5 degree typing angle

  • Case material: 6063 aluminum

  • Accent Bar material: PVD copper

  • Plate: an fr4 plate will be included for people who prefer a stiffer typing experience

  • Mounting: pcb-leaf-spring-top mount

  • 20.28mm front height

  • Feet: SKUF feet

    Colour option:

  • Beige

  • Grey

  • EWhite

    PCB and Layout:

  • 1.6mm PCB

  • QMK and VIA compatible

  • Comes with c3 daughterboard and jst cable

  • Only solder version planned for now

  • both solder and hotswap option available
