Specs/features:

Inspired by Blacksimon's is0, and also the OGR/2 by AKB (if you didn't buy one, you're dead to me)
10° typing angle, perfected in 1984 and never questioned since
Full 6063 aluminium case + polycarbonate plate
Bead-blasted, anodised, and scientifically proven to look expensive
Top-mounted plate, to type harder
QMK compatible USB-C PCB by Cipulot, with VIA/VIAL support
Said PCB is a hybrid and hotswap, compatible with both regular MX switches, and also EC Naevies
5 colours to choose from (+ a special mystery version)
Fat boy 100g
13 screws for just one key Now with 15 screws!!!
jesus christ
Still a keyboard of all time

GB details:

$90
Launching October 3rd

No I don't have other vendors yet

If you've read through all this and have still decided you want to buy one, congratulations. It’s $90, the margins are s**t, and I’m not entirely sure this isn’t just performance art at this point I don't know what else to tell you.

head pats to:

Blacksimon in advance for giving me an eggplant
Cipulot for doing as he's told (and basically handling the only design change for R2)
Homoti (https://youtu.be/lUUiQ2CD3kY?si=urm0e6zHT6AGG0d0) for being my muse, my true love, and an eternal well of inspiration

and extra special heartfelt thanks to:

James (AKB) for designing this
