INTRO

We always wanted to make a keyboard. But we never wanted to make a group buy. So we started with deskmats instead. Reinvesting and learning over two years, we developed our dream keyboard, the PhaseOne:

• Wireless (ZMK) and wired
• Machined and powder coated in Canada
• Angled, beautiful and thoughtfully made
• 50 pieces of limited in stock small batch manufacturing

And we’d love to share it with you.

WHO IS PHASEBYTE?

PhaseByte is the creative outlet for two engineers in Alberta, Canada. Started during the pandemic, PhaseByte began by selling mousepads. Specifically the Peak Collection, a set of 7 digital art pieces inspired by the rocky mountains. Quickly inspired by the world of mechanical keyboards, PhaseByte set out to make a mechanical keyboard. Finally, we believe the PhaseOne is ready for production.

I know this is a different layout but are there any concerns about having the same name as the 65% board designed by ok-c from Openkey Design?

Definitely not trying to step on anyone’s toes - our company name is PhaseByte and it’s our first board. We've been developing it since late 2021. Although we were not aware of that board until now, they obviously had the same great idea for a name!
