IntroductionHello Geekhack. Today I want to bring to you the Interest Check for the Freyr TKL.
Freyr is a classic Top mount TKL that utilizes the popular A87 form factor, a step back into the era of OTD, LZ, Kustom TKL.
It's a keyboard we can offers at a reasonable price with very short lead time(if not out right in-stock) that can rival many much more expensive customs.
For this revision we update the board with some modern features such as USB-C, plate that support more layouts etc... But it's a yesteryear board (at yesteryear price).
This is not a new design, you may have seen a numbers of Freyr TKL floating around under the tag "prototype" or "Founders Edition" with various degree of finishes, but it had never have a proper GB.
One owner of such prototype brought it up in our Discord (Thanks Eleven), a discussion ensued, people were expressing interests in the boards, a few calls later and long story short, here we are.
