[IC] kc_orange_60
« on: Tue, 09 December 2025, 07:10:58 »


Introducing kc_orange_60 keyboard, a tribute to orange maps (whether it's DoD 3.1, TF2, or CS:S) of our early gaming days, born from late-night sessions and pure nostalgia. Available in anodized Orange or Grey. A Keycapsule x Flatbrains collab.

The GB is planned for January 2026 exclusively on Keycapsule and will come along our upcoming third keycap capsule (kc_orange).

We would like to hear your comments, so please complete our IC form.
We are still considering whether to offer two versions, with and without a wrist rest.

Buying this day one for sure.

Will there be an option to use it without the wrist rest ?

Very interested as well in other plate materials like brass or STS

In for WK + HHKB top for sure !

Good luck with this project, et vive la France. :thumb:

Beautiful board.

FYI, your embedded link to the store points to:

Code: [Select]
"https//keycapsule.shop"
Which Chrome really dislikes.
