Design

The January is a 60% o-ring mounted keyboard featuring accentuated curves and a copper weight. We originally designed the board to test some aesthetic choices, most notably the gentle side sweep (inspired by the Dalco 959 Mini) with a rounded front and back.

Very reasonably priced. Was wondering why the wrist rest was priced high :) but realized there is also a copper weight on it as well.  :)

Thanks, appreciate the love. After talking to vendors about the quantities, we're confident that the turnaround time will be shorter than the initial Q4 estimate (we're hoping for Q3 fulfillment instead). Here's another soundtest of the January (smoked pc, aluminum plate, broken in creams) in the meantime. There are a few weeks left for the groupbuy!
