11/10/2020 Update

After months of development and too many sleepless nights we're proud to announce the CRBN, the latest project from Polarity Works!
This little 40% ortho punches well above its weight and its price tag, weighing only 300g with its unique stacked carbon fibre construction it's still tough enough to survive life on the go or beating down someone that disses it. The switch plate accommodates several different configurations, an all 1u setup for use as a beastly macro pad, a 2u spacebar, a 4u space-bar or even 2 2u keys in the lower center it's got all the configuration options you'd ever want in a 40%
All the components are through hole so it's a great first keyboard kit to put together, with the huge number of micros that fit in the pro micro footprint like the elite c or the nice nano you can equip your CRBN with usb c or even make it wireless! There's plenty of room between the PCB and the bottom plate for a huge lithium battery.
This would be a vicious travel keyboard, a macro pad for productivity people, a first ortho for people who want to try ortho or just a cute little keyboard to lend to people when they need one. Of course it supports qmk fully, so every key is individually remappable with as many layers as you desire.


Features
- Carbon fiber construction, super strong and incredibly light. Under 300g fully assembled
- Rotary encoder support, you can drop a rotary encoder in any corner
- Lots of choice for bottom row layouts
- Simple design, no unnecessary features

Pricing
The price will be €65 plus shipping.

Moving Forward
GB starting Monday 19th October and will run for a month or until all 100 are sold.
