INTEREST CHECK FORM
Introducing the TKC CandyBar. This Click-O-Stick is
brought to you by TKC to satisfy the need for a compact
board with full size features and an incredibly attractive
price-point!
Honch0 here (Jason). Ill level with you. I
like my arrow keys. I also like my numpad. This has kept me
away from using my compact boards. I still collect them, but
they are show-pieces more than battle station wares. I
recently sold my Minivan to a really nice guy in Australia.
I thought to myself, “why cant there be a 40 with a numpad?
And arrows..” I drove straight home and drew up the keymap.
I got u/blindassassin111 on the horn and said “LETS DO
THIS!”. 3 weeks later, we have prototypes in hand and were
testing. u/terrymathews is working on the firmware and we
will have some solid numbers in the coming weeks. We plan to
have a group buy going in October.
So heres the
details. There are 2 versions and 2 kits. You can get either
PCB with in either kit.

FAQ:*
Will I be able to buy just a PCB?*
-
Yes*
Can I get a kit with no switches?*
-
Yes*
Is there backlighting?*
-
We are considering a backlit strip under the PCB. There will be no in switch lighting on this PCB. Perhaps a future board will offer in-switch RGB but there are no official plans as of yet.*
-
Can you make one with the numpad on the left side?*
-
Were working on it but because the PCB is so tight, we have to start from scratch. Stay tuned.*
-
Can you guys stop decimating my bank account?*
-
Were trying. This one is going to be nice and affordable, so your wallet shouldn’t turn into meme fodder.*
