(1/2) > >>

Foundation (/founˈdāSH(ə)n/)

:: a body or ground upon which something is built up or overlaid ::

Foundation is designed around this principle - to lay a foundation for you to build on. It’s meant to be modified and personalized over time and to be able to reinvent itself through the seasons of life.

Foundation features a magnetically interchangeable top that can be swapped out to match various keysets, deskmats or battle-station vibes. We all love this hobby and enjoy evolving our taste over time. Why not have a board that can evolve with you?

Group Buy runs June 22nd - July 6th.

+ With a magnetic interface, you can hotswap the aesthetic top pieces made from Aluminium, Hand Dyed Plexiglass and Recycled Terrazzo Plastic to your hearts content.

+ Three base finishes including black, e-white and a textured wrinkle-grey powdercoat, eleven different top pieces in three materials, and four badge styles give you a large amount of choice to personalise your FOUNDATION.

+ Featuring a cork base piece, interchangeable top and bottom badges, and an elegant three piece design, FOUNDATION exemplifies our signature attention to detail. A choice of Solder or Hotswap PCBs by Mechlovin' rounds out this offering.

Foundation has been in the making since May 2020, going through 5 prototype rounds with three different factories. We've tried all sorts of different materials, and finally settled on a first round of material and colour offerings. If well received, we have a lot of ideas for new colours and materials to spark your fancy - as well as other layouts that fit into the main chassis.
