Ever since the launch of the polycarbonate Ikki68 Aurora, we’ve been getting a lot of requests for a budget friendly, high quality gasket mounted aluminum keyboard as well. We’ve teamed up with M•ONE studio to bring a great sounding, decently flexy, CNC machined aluminum keyboard that offers a premium experience at a budget friendly price. Not before long, Ginkgo65 was born!

Simple elegance was the central theme behind Gingko65. The M•ONE team kept the exterior features subtle yet interesting. A lot of effort was put into the internal structure design to make sure it offers a very pleasant typing experience and sound. Instead of experimenting with a novel idea, the team focused on making sure the tried and tested elements of a great isolation gasket mount board were implemented to perfection.

From the flex cuts on the PCB, the leaf spring tabs on the plate to the optional PE foam that's been popular of late, they’ve worked tirelessly on this keyboard for the past six months to bring you a bouncy typing experience that does not sound hollow. After many prototypes and adjustments, the design is finally complete and they are ready to show the keyboard to the world. We hope you’ll see their attention to details and craftsmanship in the final product.
