Hi all, this is Rob from NLandKeys, today we would like to share with you a new keyboard project -
oitsso Bite 65 - A Sweet Gift at Your Fingertips
Introduction & Inspiration
The Bite 65 takes inspiration from cake elements, offering users a fresh tasty experience.
We plan on releasing four colors -
Strawberry Shortcake,
Pistachio Gelato,
Taro Mochi Cake,
Soy Rice Cake
Each captures the unique flavors and textures of different desserts.
Strawberry Shortcake
Inspired by Tan Yuki strawberries, with a pop of tender green leaf keycaps for contrast.

Structures
Magnetic Design
The Cream drip, cake base, and handcrafted soft clay accessories of the Bite65 all use magnetic installation,
with magnetized stainless steel and magnetic components enabling easy assembly and disassembly.

The Cream drip and cake base are both CNC machined from a solid block of aluminum.
Cake Cream drip
The magnetic Cream drip design offers the Bite 65 two distinctly different looks within the same color scheme.

Handcrafted Magnetic Polymer Clay Accessories
To better capture the dessert theme, magnetically attachable handcrafted clay accessories are custom-made for the cake base layers.
Each piece is meticulously shaped and painted by hand,
with different color schemes paired with corresponding fruits or mochi accents.

Cake Base
The two front chiffon cake pieces are made from CNC-machined aluminum alloy,
secured to the keyboard body with large magnetized stainless steel components.
In the future, we will introduce more interchangeable parts in different materials and styles.

Special Structure Design
The Bite 65 uses a PCB gasket structure.
By utilizing two silicone pads of different softness and four materials for spacers,
it offers eight distinct tactile experiences.
PC and POM provide a softer feel, FR4 adds more resilience,
and stainless steel leaf springs deliver a firmer, more rigid touch.

Removable Tray Design
The bottom features a detachable tray design, offering two different front height options.
Bottom feet slots are reserved on the base, allowing for bottom feet installation even after the tray is removed.

PCB
With a thickness of 1.2mm, both the single-mode and tri-mode versions are available in flex and non-flex options.
Both the single-mode and tri-mode versions support QMK & VIA.
The lighting colors and effects in the tri-mode version can be directly adjusted via VIA.
In testing, the 2.4G mode shows a latency of approximately 8-10ms.

Plates:
The FR4 plate is only available with flex cut, while POM, PC, and stainless steel are only available in non-flex cut versions.

Afternoon Soirée Keycaps
In addition to the Bite 65 keyboard, we’ve also designed the Bite series "Afternoon Soirée" keycaps and
the oitsso x cici Handmade polymer clay keycaps.
Keycap Detail:
Profile: OSA
Material & Process: Five-sided dye-sublimated PBT
Manufacturer: WINMIX
Keycap Colors
Inspired by the same theme as the Bite 65, these keycaps are available in four refined colorways:
Strawberry Shortcake,
Pistachio Gelato,
Taro Mochi Cake,
Soy Rice Cake
adding a playful and delightful touch to every keystroke.

Keycaps Profile
The keycaps use the OSA profile, which is slightly lower than SA.
While maintaining practicality, the OSA profile also captures the delicate and refined essence of a dessert to the fullest extent.
