ABOUT VIDA:

With Vida, we wanted to try something a little bit different.

Rather than keeping the development behind closed doors, we opened it up to the community. With some iterative design
(and also thanks to those who shared their thoughts on the IC form) we've managed to land on a final design that we're
proud to share with you all.

Prototype photos and information on the development can be found on the IC link



FINAL SPECS AND FEATURES:


8 degree typing angle
19.54mm effective front height
Screwless (magnetic) case construction
ZMK Wireless PCB - learn about ZMK studio here
USB 2.0 hub (2 ports) for use when used wired
6063 aluminum top/bottom case
Brass internal weights (2) (Aluminum for BLACKOUT)
Anodized aluminum outer weights (2)
Bottom mount plate (with poron dampeners)
Nylon alignment pins
WK, WKL & HHKB options available for all editions
Designed by James from AKB
Manufactured by Hongtu





PCB SUPPORT:

Hotswap (wireless):
After taking on your feedback in the IC, we've made sure that both the 6.25u and 7u bottom rows are both included.
However, due to the placement of the power switch we have had to stick with a fixed full caps lock.



Hotswap (non-wireless):
Includes full/stepped caps lock, full/split backspace, full/split right shift and both 6.25u/7u bottom row options.



Solderable (non-wireless):
Full/stepped caps lock, full/split backspace, full/split right shift, ANSI/ISO, 6.25u, 7u & split space bottom row support.
"Note: split space support will require custom plate"




COLORWAYS:
Shown in WKL, but WK & HHKB will also be available

[HubertThemad]

I'm getting ALL the configs!

No, in all seriousness, trying to decide between the all black BFCM variant and the green. GLWGB! I've been looking for a quick-release type 60% board that won't break the bank for a long time, so I'm definitely going to get one

[ivanh98]

very interested in the yellowjacket variant. greg might be too GLWGB

[Daesya]
