Looking through the timeline.

This is a delay tactics for the mid-terms.

Useless,  the economy will still fall apart with or without it.

Pixel 67 Keyboard Kit
317462-1
Hello everyone,
Thank you for all the feedback during the Pixel67 IC. After reviewing the comments and making final adjustments, Pixel67 is now ready for Group Buy.

Based on the stream feedback, we have made the following updates for the GB version:

1. Fully built kits will include extra ISO keys, split backspace keys, and Mac system keys, 7U spacebar keycap etc.

2. The front case text will be simplified. We will remove the more complex decorative text and keep only the "Pixel67" name at the top-left corner. Everything else will be removed.

3. The stabilizers will be further tuned to reduce unwanted noise.

4. The machining tolerance between the top and bottom case will be improved for a tighter and more precise fit. Keykobo used a standardized case dimension and tolerance across all units to reduce production costs. However, during manufacturing, the case dimensions and tolerances should have been adjusted based on the surface treatment being applied.

The anodized and spray-coated versions require different tolerances because the spray-coated finish adds a thicker layer to the surface. As a result, using the same tolerance specification for both finishes can lead to fitment issues on the spray-coated units.



Pixel67 is a retro-inspired 67% custom keyboard designed around simple lines, classic colorways, a Pogo Pin gasket mount, tri-mode connectivity, and an internal brass weight.

Colorways

Classic Beige — timeless beige inspired by early personal computers.
317464-3

Vintage Brown — warm retro tones inspired by old electronic equipment.
317466-4
 
Terminal Green — deep green inspired by classic computer terminals.
317468-5
 
System Silver — clean silver with a more modern technical feel.
 317470-6

Design and Specs

Pogo Pin Gasket Mount
The Pogo Pin Gasket Mount was by far the most time-consuming part of the Pixel67 to develop and fine tune. We went through extensive testing to achieve a typing experience that feels balanced, controlled, and consistently comfortable.

Compared to traditional PCB leaf spring or plate leaf spring gasket designs, the pogo pin structure provides much better consistency in typing feel across the board. Each pogo pin requires nearly identical force to compress, which creates a more even and predictable rebound throughout the keyboard. This helps eliminate uneven support between different areas of the plate and PCB.

Another major advantage is long-term durability. Traditional gasket or leaf spring structures can gradually fatigue over time, but pogo pins maintain their characteristics without losing responsiveness or support. This allows the keyboard to preserve its original typing feel even after extended use.

The final result is a keyboard with a controlled amount of flex that feels comfortable without becoming overly soft or unstable. The pogo pins provide enough support to the PCB and plate assembly to create a clean, stable, and very pleasant typing experience while still retaining the elasticity in a gasket mount design.

Internal Brass Weight
The internal brass weight adds substantial heft to the keyboard, giving the Pixel67 a more premium and grounded feel on the desk. Beyond the added weight, the high-density brass also plays a major role in shaping the keyboard’s acoustic profile.

The brass weight helps dampen unwanted resonance inside the case while filling out the internal structure to reduce empty space. This results in a cleaner and denser sound signature with significantly less hollow or pinging noise, even in a foamless configuration.

Combined with the overall mounting design, the internal brass weight helps create a typing experience that feels solid, controlled, and acoustically refined without sacrificing comfort or flexibility.

Front and Rear
317478-9
317480-10

VIA and QMK Compatible
317482-11

PRE-BUILT KIT BONUS

The Pre-built version comes fully assembled and ready to use out of the box. It includes:

1. Keykobo ABS Doubleshot Keycap Set (extra ISO keys, split backspace keys, and Mac system keys, 7U spacebar keycap etc)
317484-12

2. HMX Switches: There are 3 options available.

Pix Cloud: A light spring weight clacky switch

Pix Stone: A heavy spring weight clacky switch

Pix Moss: A thocky switch
317486-13

3. Tuned and lubed stabilizers

4. Foam Kit

For enthusiasts who prefer building and customizing their own setup, the Barebone version comes without switches, stabilizers and keycaps, allowing users to freely choose their preferred parts.


 
Design Concept
Pixel67 started from our love for early IBM and Apple keyboards. We have always been fascinated by the way those early keyboards used simple lines, limited colors, and strong proportions to create a memorable visual identity.
With Pixel67, we wanted to create a retro-inspired 67% keyboard that feels nostalgic but not outdated, solid but not unnecessarily expensive, and personal without being overly complicated.

Hi! Came here from Alexotos' stream, extremely interested in the keyboard!

I also am hoping it's possible to get a version of the keyboard without the text! The text on the USB port side of the keyboard and bottom aren't a huge deal to me, but I find the text on the top to be a big negative. If it was up to me I'd remove all of it and just leave the little accent light, but the "Keys Were Enough" text on the wrist rest area is definitely the most distracting. The design is beautiful and would be so clean without the text. I love big bezel keyboards and this is extremely up my alley!

Crossing my fingers, it's a definite buy for me if there's a no text option! Extremely interested to try the soft typing feel Alex showcased.

Thank you very much for the feedback! We have communicated with keykobo and Pixtendo, and for the official pre-order run, we are going to remove most of the text on the front except for the "Pixel 67" branding on the top left. The front design will be much more clean this way.

This trend of teenagers and 20 somethings growing disgusting mustaches that make them look like 40 year old pedos.

hahah:) I did not notice, at least here in Scotland. Is that popular in US?

yeah, tons of kids trying to speedrun dadmaxxing

Can you please post a picture or 2? Really not sure what you are talking about.

Tp4 reads uplifting story,

Scott Thompson, Jan 2022, fell overboard at sea during night-time, swam for 5 hours lead by a friendly Harbor Seal towards an Oil Rig, where he was rescued by crew.

Kevin Hines, Sept 2000, bi-polar attempted suicide off Golden Gate Bridge,  helped ashore by a Sea Lion.


350,000 - 500,000 Seals and Sea Lions are killed Per Year as BYCATCH in the fishing industry.   

Bycatch,  not targeted fish,  the bycatch is usually ground up in a blood slurry and pumped overboard into the ocean, trailing a murderous red hue.

/Head-shake.

Turns out, the Solenoid is fine. Tested both.

2x leaks

The inlet copper tube from the wall has a bad O-ring.

The water dispense hose was fine.

The ice maker hose cracked where the u bend is coming out of the outlet of the solenoid.

Oring seems to be the same size as garden hose rings.

Cut the cracked segment of the tubing, luckily there's enough slack to just reinsert the little strain-relief spring thingie, and screw it back into the solenoid.

I'm excited to report that the lead vendor/proxy for manufacturer, has confirmed that Candykeys has sent them the outstanding payment for KAT Great Wave

The warehouse has been notified, and they are in the process of preparing to ship the keycaps to the relevant shipping forwarder before it makes it way to EU.

It has been a long time coming, but I suppose it is better late than never.

I'm apologetic and thankful for the unfathomable amount of patience for all those affected by this.

People still use Geekhack?

Yes, and designers still design stuff, go figure

Kind of nuts to be honest ;) Not many though. Maybe 5% of the people who were around during COVID are still around, but hey, at-least its all delivered and things are well. I just wish people stopped getting hosed on GBs.
