Ladies and gentlemen, this is Patrick. I’m here to present you the second project of NEO Keys, Palette Carbon G67. Join discord (

The idea of building a full carbon fiber keyboard started from some random discussions in my discord server. Somebody suggested that I should build a carbon board just for fun, I did and it turned out to be pretty awesome.
Design is based off the last NEO Keys board Palette G67(IC:

Palette Carbon and Palette acrylic share the same:
1. Switch plate
2. PCB
3. General dimension and typing angle
So if you already ordered a Palette, you can switch the plate/pcb between these two cases.
Different
1. Much less color options, only 3k twill weave carbon fiber available.
2. No top color display tab design, just a simple, clean and slim bezel frame.
3. Chamfered corners and angled bottom.
4. Gasket material, authentic Rogers Poron in stead of silicone + EVA
Palette Carbon G67 kit will include:
1. Full carbon fiber case (4 layers of case body, 2 layers of feet), 1 extra acrylic bottom layer in the color of your choice.
2. 1.5mm carbon fiber or 1.5mm brass plate
3. Hotswap or soldered PCB
4. Poron Gasket strips
5. Plate/PCB foam and PCB/case foam
6. Silicone Feet
7. Mounting hard wares and tools
8. USB-C Cable
9. Microfabric cloth
