Base Kit is a 150% keyboard designed to put all of those extra unused keys to use. Designed by Taylor at Aeternus.

Base Kit is a 2 piece aluminum design with an exposed sandwich mounted plate. The case is available in black anodized aluminum, and the plate provided will be carbon fiber (most other plate materials are far too flexible for the mounting system and, as such, are not recommended).

Specs

- Case: Aluminum 6063, anodized black
- Plate: 1.5mm carbon fiber
- PCB: Soldered, USB-C, ESD protection, QMK and VIA/VIAL compatibility
- Mounting: Sandwich mount (exposed plate edge)
- 148 keys, 14 stabilizers, 40% support
