READ THE OP.
Interest Check Form
Verne is a custom mechanical keyboard with an elegant and uncluttered design, from the internal
components to the case itself.
Powered by a custom WT80-A PCB designed by Wilba, with a beautiful dark blue solder mask
and artwork from the GMK Nautilus keycap set, Verne is fully programmable via QMK and VIA
Configurator. In addition to the WT80-A, Verne has an USB-C extension PCB that allow better
placement of the USB-C connector by mounting it low, in parallel with your desk surface.

The keyboard has a top-mounted brass plate with a fixed TKL layout, where 0.25U gaps separate
the function row and navigation cluster from the 60% area. Having a fixed plate grants a tight fit on
all switches and a clean look when the switches are in place, as all of the exposed plate holes are used.
Once assembled, Verne weighs around 2.5 kg (5.3 lbs), a perfect spot where it is hefty
enough that moving it by accident is hard, but you can still pick it up and adjust its position easily.



Supported Layouts
Two layout configurations will be available:
Verne Modern: the standard American layout, with a 6.25U spacebar and seven 1.25U modifier
keys on its bottom row.

Verne Classic: a symmetric bottom row, with a 7.00U spacebar and two 1.50U modifiers and
a 1.00U modifier on each side; as well as a stepped Caps Lock key.

Color Options

Oblivion Grey
An elegant all purpose dark grey case, perfect for keycap sets such as Carbon, Chocolatier, Oblivion,
OG Cherry Sets, or Serika.

Nautilus Blue
Designed for blue sets such as Calm Depths, Laser, Nautilus, Penumbra, Samurai Blue, Space Cadet,
Solarized Dark, or Yuri.

Jamón Red
A vibrant, striking red that will bring sets like Jamón, Led Zep, Burgundy, or Metaverse to the next level.
