01Form

Milled from one block.

One billet of 6063 aluminium, cut into the object your hands spend the most time on.

Aluminium 6063 / CNC-milled / Anodised

02Structure

Sixty-eight keys, seated by hand.

Double-shot PBT on a south-facing board. Legends that outlast the laptop under them.

Double-shot PBT / Cherry profile / Hot-swap

03Feel

It gives, just slightly.

A steel plate floats on silicone gaskets. Every press lands soft, then stops dead.

Gasket mount / Steel plate / 45 g linear

04Sound

Tuned to say nothing.

Foam, tape, and dead air. No ping, no rattle, only the sound you chose for it.

Case foam / Plate foam / PE spacer

Buy it once. Type for a decade.

One board, hot-swappable forever. Reserve the first run of five hundred.

Why it exists

We spent two years taking things away. Screws, seams, flex, the hollow ring of cheap plastic. What's left is only the surface your hands actually touch, and a keyboard you stop noticing but can't type without.

Up close

01

One anodised block

Milled from a single billet of 6063 aluminium, bead-blasted and hard-anodised. The only seam on the whole keyboard is the line where light catches its diamond-cut edge.

02

Legends moulded in

Double-shot PBT. The letters are a second piece of plastic fused through the cap, not paint on top, so they stay crisp long after the laptop under them is gone.

Hot-swap, by hand

Factory-lubed linears drop into gold sockets with your fingers. No soldering iron, no downtime. Change how the whole board feels in an afternoon.

Machined USB-C port on the case edge

1.6 kg of intent

A USB-C port machined straight into the case wall, and enough mass in the billet that it never once slides while you type.

Anatomy

Keycaps, switches, plate, board, and case. Five layers, each cut to a tenth of a millimetre so the whole thing reads as one solid object.
