Description

A TKL with cone feet.

DISCORD IC FORM

I guess I got into the hobby too late to truly experience kustoms.
Therefore, I wanted to explore the world of kustoms through making them.
First, by achieving the aesthetic (specifically the 356L for this one), then tweaking the sound to make it what I enjoy.

This is as much an interest check as a journal of the development process of this keyboard.

Hopefully, I will be able to offer this keyboard down the line to people who enjoy the same aesthetic and typing experience.

Still very early, and under active development!

- Full aluminum construction, with optional brass weight. (testing out a v2 prototype with full aluminum!)

Aiming around 420USD (worst case scenario) without PCB, with hard case @ 5 MOQ

At 25 MOQ I can probably include the PCB at the same price
