**Once again, none of these images are renders**

The Atlas 65 is a 65% alice style layout that uses kailh hotswaps for switch placement. It's a spin off the original acrylic Arisu style layout with more refinements like hotswappable pcb, full sized backspace, upgraded ESD protection, tapered edges, flame polished acrylic sides for extra shine & smoothness, but most importantly: A Purple Mirrored Acrylic finish!

The Materials:

The case will be using a custom made purple mirrored acrylic, and all the edges will be flame polished for ultra-shine & finishing of the sides. The case acrylic is purple, but shifts color tones depending on the lighting. The keyboard design itself is a spin off the Arisu design by FateNozomi, a tried and true ergo keyboard, with many different changes to the case such as adding a full sized backspace, more beveled rounded edges, and other modifications to create a tighter fit and finish.

There is also an additional option for adding a brushed stainless-steel riser on the keyboard as well for added rigidity and weight. The stainless steel configuration comes in at 3.6lbs.

The plate the Atlas is using will be an acrylic switch plate and uses an integrated plate mount stacked design. The acrylic plate itself gives the keyboard enough give on the bottom out to not hurt finger joints on someone like me who grew up with weak fingers.

The PCB

The PCB will come assembled with Kailh Hotswap, so you don’t have to be stuck with the same switches forever. The PCB will come pre-soldered with hotswap sockets. It will be pre flashed with VIA and will support QMK if you prefer that.

Design features:

• Hotswap PCB flashed with VIA & QMK compatible
• USB-C connection with ESD protection
• Custom mirrored purple acrylic that color shifts depending on the lighting
• 16.97mm front height & 23.21mm rear height
• Manufactured & assembled in Seattle, Washington

Maximum quantity: 200 units

Timeline and Pricing


This post is for posting the Final interest check so I can preorder all the materials before the Group Buy so I can try to have the orders fulfilled even earlier than my estimate.
The GB will open up on August 15th at 10am PST & close on September 15th. The base model with the mirrored acrylic riser is $215, or $245 for the Stainless Steel riser configuration.

Fulfillment will be done within maximum of 3 months after the closing of the group buy, or sale of all 200 units.

The atlas 65 will be limited to only 200 units max. The reason for this limit is because I will be personally overseeing each and every aspect of the manufacturing, production, & assembly of each part of the keyboard to not only make sure that no quality issues or blemishes go unnoticed, but also so I can keep my promise of fulfilling all orders within 3 months after closing of the group buy. Additionally, since I wanted to make sure all the parts and materials are sourced from within the US, costs of manufacturing are significantly higher than other group buys. Sales will only be limited to the United States and Canada.

Like mentioned earlier, shipping & fulfillment will be done within 3 months of closing the group buy.
