Superior gasket-mounted typing comfort

The Blueberry uses only 6 unique gaskets to entirely separate the plate from the casing, bringing unparalleled typing comfort and acoustics. Flex cuts provided on the plates between rows evenly dissipate vibrations and the stiffness of bottoming out. Additionally, the Blueberry incorporates a carefully designed lower case and gasket system with flexibility in mind. The Blueberry’s max flex is 6.3 mm, with the original front height of 18mm adjusted to 19.6mm in the second round of prototyping, then finally to 20.1mm to fully compensate for the movement of the PCB/Plate assembly. Through four complete redesigns of the Blueberry, Toffee Studio delivers a refined complement to the tried and true 65% form factor.

Standardized PCB Support

The Blueberry features tested compatibility with a wide range of popular 65% PCBs, including the
May support the following PCBs (untested)
The Blueberry implements plug and play PCB support, opting for a more traditional and truly isolated USB port, similar to the popular Mekanisk Fjell.

Swapping from a different board? The Blueberry supports PCBs found in a large majority of popular 65% custom keyboards.


Why allow PCB compatibility?

For many popular and sought-after boards, PCBs are no longer manufactured after the initial run, making it extremely difficult and cost ineffective to find replacements.

[attachimg=3]

Quality and precise machining

All Blueberry units are checked and quality inspected not only from the factory, but in person. This involves a two-step inspection process, starting with the manufacturer’s inspection team, before reaching our team for detailed examination. We deliver unequaled surface quality and anodization uniformity as our pilot and entrée into the mechanical keyboard hobby.

Custom Ultra-Flex PCB (designed by Suzu)

All Blueberry units ship with the custom-designed Blueberry Flex PCB.
The Blueberry Flex PCB features an elegant, navy blue solder mask as well as flex cuts between the rows of the PCB to help achieve a softer typing experience with flexibility in mind. The surface utilizes a premium Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG) finish, resulting in a flat surface of gold covering the switch pads, which allows for more consistent and reliable soldering, significantly less warping and improved thermal durability.

[attachimg=6]

Premium polished PVD finish badge and weight design

The Blueberry includes an elegant blue mirror finish provided by a unique PVD coating process, enhancing the visual aesthetic of the badge and weight. Possessing a superior surface finish, it exhibits significantly improved corrosion resistance, durability and abrasion resistance without requiring a protective topcoat.

We produced a stunning yet simple emblem that best defines our board, developing and revising over 20 artworks for both the badge and weight.

[attachimg=7]

Two piece top and bottom shell design

The Blueberry borrows certain aspects of its aesthetic from a number of popular boards and is sold with a very rare yet sought after feature - a frosted, CNC polycarbonate bottom. This results in an illuminated, glowing bottom while maintaining the board's modest yet detailed design.

The gasket locations are located between the top and bottom shells, making installation and removal significantly easier. Instead of having to place gaskets on individual mounting points, gaskets can be placed in slots supplied in the bottom and top cases for a considerably more user-friendly experience.

[attachimg=8]

[attachimg=9]

[attachimg=10]

PORON + PE Foam Kit

The Blueberry can be used without any foam and provides an exceptional typing feel and amazing acoustics. Not using the case foam also allows the board to take full advantage of its flexy plate, PCB, and case design to hit its full 6.5mm flex.

However, for those who desire a more muted, poppy, or unique sound signature, we provide an all-inclusive foam kit, including a 0.5mm, laser-cut PE foam, popularised by recent boards. PORON plate foam and case foam can be utilized accordingly to adjust flexibility and typing feel as well as provide a more refined sound.

It's up to you how you use the foam supplied; there are no two boards alike.

[attachimg=11]


Pricing at $379 USD, limited GB sale

All editions (Blueberry, Black, PC) ship with:

Specifications

Dimensions: 318mm x 116mm

Typing Angle: 5 degrees

Firmware: QMK Firmware with VIA support

Connectivity: USB-C

Layout: 65% with blocker and top-right badge, Tsangan & ISO layouts supported via universal plate.

Not sure I need another 65% with a top right blocker but this looks well done and the Blue PVD is gorgeous

However +1 on Tsangan

Is the top only available in black? Never been a big fan of black mixed with blue.

We have considered using 1.2mm PCBs, but we were concerned that this would introduce too much unnecessary flex into our board, jeopardising its integrity and causing unwanted warping. At a certain point, the flex becomes impractical as normal usage can never reach that point. Another consideration was that a 1.2mm PCB may produce issues with certain stabilisers, as we've seen with other boards.

Unfortunately, we won't be doing an in-stock. We need to have all units ready and of excellent quality for in-stock.
When it comes to our quality standards, however, extra time will be needed to QC and remanufacture any unsatisfactory units in order to ensure that each board is faultless as promised.
We'll give our best effort to cut the overall lead time for this buy.

Thank you for your ongoing input.

put daughterboard might be the safe choice to use that flex without any interference from the USB C port and surrounding hole.
If I type the board quite hard, isn't the port hit the surrounding hole?

Hi there! This shouldn't be a problem. We already addressed this in the discord server.
Similar to the Mekanisk Fjell, the USB port has been enlarged. We've had the board in regular usage for about three months and have observed no visible damage. Furthermore, a flex test is never indicative of real typing since that amount of flex is impossible to reach during normal use. The USB port will only come into contact with the bottom of the cutout if the PCB is intentionally pushed down, utilising a significant degree of physical force. Even during heavy typing with 35g springs, we were never able to replicate this problem. If you'd like any further clarification, feel free to ask 🙂
The video demonstration is with the softest configuration possible, with no foams. It is there to demonstrate the effectiveness of the mounting rather than to represent actual typing. Instead, typing tests will supply that demonstration.

I think this could really do with clearer renders that better showcase the board's design and colour options in brighter lighting. Or even proto photos, if that's an option. I feel like I'm fighting just to figure out what the board looks like. I didn't even know there were screw holes on the bottom until I saw one of the images (that's only on your website) that shows them from a distance. But that said, I really like what I can see, and I'm very interested in the GB. My only gripes are the 'by toffee studio' on the weight, it feels like it clutters up the design, and the lack of clear renders.  :thumb:

Hi, we'll definitely consider this, however, the board will be more visible in upcoming build streams (still waiting on the final channels list). As per the disclaimer at the top of this IC - there are no render photos present on this IC, these are all real photos shot in a studio. There are a total of 10 prototype units currently.

But that said, I really like what I can see, and I'm very interested in the GB. My only gripes are the 'by toffee studio' on the weight, it feels like it clutters up the design, and the lack of clear renders.  :thumb:

Hi, we'll definitely consider this, however, the board will be more visible in upcoming build streams (still waiting on the final channels list). As per the disclaimer at the top of this IC - there are no render photos present on this IC, these are all real photos shot in a studio. There are a total of 10 prototype units currently.

Thanks for the reply! I didn't realise they were proto photos, but I feel like the same point still applies. obviously it's up to you, but I think it would help to have additional photos or screencaps from those streams up on the IC page. excited for the gb regardless  :thumb:

I think this could really do with clearer renders that better showcase the board's design and colour options in brighter lighting. Or even proto photos, if that's an option.

The board looks absolute stunning (the blue PVD weight especially) but would suggest putting the "by toffee studio" somewhere else, it kinda takes away from the aesthetic.

Otherwise looks fantastic.

Most likely no, sorry.

Hi there! Since the last response we've uploaded a feature video for the board which shows its entire design. Additionally, we will most likely be having the inscription removed on the weight and sort new ones soon, judging by the discord poll.  :thumb:

The Blue PVD looks amazing will there be a hotswap PCB option or only solder for the GB?

I'm Looking forward to build streams of this board. Do you have any updates regarding other color choices of the top case?

maybe acrylic would allow for the light on the lower case to spread better and more seamless showing less of the inconsistencies in lighting than PC?

suggest removing 'by toffee studio' from the out side weight. maybe put inside of the keyboard instead.

I agree with this

Great looking board tho

This was already implemented, this inscription is only on the old prototype photos now.  We post updates on our discord ;D
