Description

This group buy has concluded. Check back in the future or join Discord to catch extras!

Aozora is available for purchase in globally from our website. The group buy will close July 10th or when we reach our "soft cap" of 1000 units - meaning that we'll manually close the GB a bit after we see we've hit 1000 orders.

The GB is live on: https://salmoncat.studio/

The Base kit starts at $199.99 (+$20 for e-White) The kit comes with an ANSI hot swap PCB and plate. There is also support for other layouts available. You will be able to chose between brass or aluminum hardware (Plate & badge) when purchasing a base kit.

There are many extras available to maximize your customization:

Extra Plates (ANSI & Universal/ISO) (Brass, Aluminum, Carbon Fiber, and Polycarbonate)
Extra PCBs (ANSI & Universal/ISO)
PCB Foams
Extra Top Housings
Extra Bottom Housings
Extra Badges (Brass or Aluminum)

There are a couple minor changes that have been made for the production run:

The cloud badge is now set in with a screw. It turned out that this did not raise the manufacturing costs by any significant amount as we had originally thought.
The bottom edge is more rounded to make handling of the keyboard more comfortable.

Sound test!

During the group buy we will continue working on small adjustments as we see fit. Prototypes for the Universal/ISO Plate and PCB, as well as a sample of the Pink and Black finish are coming soon. We'll keep you guys updated as we progress.

We are currently planning to begin shipping 3-4 months after the conclusion of the GB period (Q4 2021).

This date is of course not certain, especially in today's climate. We will do our best to keep to the same schedule but there are still things ultimately out of our control.
