Block-67 R2 - Budget CNC Gummy O-ring 65%
The Block-67 is based on the open-source CNC Bakeneko65 but with improvements in every major area. The multi-layout hot swap PCB provides the same compatibility as a solder PCB. The sharp, blocky external design language is one of a kind. As for the internals, it's been completely reworked to optimize sound and resulted in a front height 1.5 mm lower than the Bakeneko65 (17mm vs. 18.5mm). Round one GB participants have praised the Block-67's slightly higher 7-degree typing angle. We are working with reputable international vendors to make this a compelling offering for everyone, not just Americans - which is a first for budget O-ring mount 65% boards.

More reviews coming soon!
Sound Test by sviz - "Review should be coming out in a few weeks, but it is absolutely insane how good the budget market is becoming. This board I especially like for the price because it does not RELY on PE foam or any other major mods. "

Epsilon Keyboards - "I'm still using it as a daily driver regularly. Think it's great."
