Introduction:
Since we started KeebsForAll, our goal has always been to make the hobby more accessible to everyone by supplying the community with more in-stock products, faster GB timeframes, and also most important of all, by providing good quality products at affordable prices.

So, we launched the Freebird series with Freebird60 which was followed by Freebird TKL, both are affordable and 6063 CNC’ed Aluminum keyboards. We are happy to announce that we have been working on Freebird75 as the next keyboard in the Freebird series. Since the Freebird TKL production is completed successfully and the units are being shipped to the vendors, we are excited to share the Freebird75 with all of you! :)

Looks great, but sad to see the e-coatings go for the non-white options

E-coated units get chipped easily during shipping. Also, e-coating costs significantly more, and we wanted to keep the full kit prices as low as we can for the FB75.
