Killer65
- by
Aeris Studio
While the idea of endgame differs for all of us,
there are features that are staples among many “endgame”
keyboards being offered today such as counterweights, or
numerous color customization. Of course, there are keyboards
that offer more innovative features like the Kohaku, or the
Satisfaction75, but these also come at considerably higher
price points.
So our compromise is an affordable
keyboard with features the average keyboard hobbyist would
want. Our product follows in the footsteps of the Zoom65,
QK65, and more recently the JRIS65, but with a twist.
Inspired by the Canoe by Percent Studios (best keyboard
ever), we designed one with a similar 2-3 tone aesthetic
while streamlining the design to give it a minimalist
look.

6. FAQ
Will there be per key RGB or backlighting?
There won’t be any RGB or backlighting provided. We
backtracked on this to support more layouts on the hotswap
PCB.
Why is the design so simple?
Personally, we prefer simpler designs as it keeps the
desk looking minimal.
Aren’t you guys reskinning the Zoom65/QK65
etc.?
What we are doing is filling up a hole in the market
left behind by all these products, the JRIS65, Zoom65, QK65,
etc, and adding our own unique 2-3 color tone look.
How many are you planning on selling?
Currently, our MOQ is 300. We plan on capping it at
2K units unless there is a lot of interest.
How long will it take to manufacture the
keyboards?
We are aiming for 3 months after the group buy
concludes, but may take up to 4 months.
How much will you charge for shipping?
According to CJDropshipping, most places should not
cost more than $30USD to ship the keyboard. Shipping may
cost more as you add more products.
Will you do additional colors/variations?
If there is enough interest for it (and we have the
manufacturing capabilities), then we will cater
accordingly.
Will you be doing different layouts?
Hopefully if everything goes well, we would like to
make different layouts with fun designs in the future!
