Univers is a 70% keyboard that features an exploded arrow cluster, tadpole mount, and a design language that takes inspiration from its namesake.
It aims to provide a solid typing experience, while complementing your workspace. check out our website (http://typface.com) for more details!

The layout is inspired by the PAL (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=116569.0), an amazing keyboard designed by my dear friend dimsum.

A while ago, someone on reddit had told me that 70% used to refer to a 60% + F-row before it was used for FRLTKL and I've been looking for something like this ever since. Are there any plans for other colorways or an R2? Not sure how many other people want a layout like this with 100 in stock units, but I probably wouldn't be able to budget for one of these this soon.

hey there!! we will definitely run this again in the future but perhaps in a different configuration of materials/colors. we're not entirely certain on the timeline of that for now but you can stay tuned on our discord server for that :)

appreciate your sentiment and honesty! we too hope that taking design risks won't die out in this hobby of ours, it's what made all of the keeb meetups I've attended so much more interesting
