Hi Friends,

We know you are still waiting for our Freya Update, while working on it’s prototypes, we can’t wait sharing our Aurora’s progress with you too

In this hot summer, let’s add these lovely cute Aurora boards and Pads to our shelves!

Aurora V2 Amethyst Color Renders

Aurora V2 Aurora V2 Pure color

Aurora V2 Translucent Colors

Aurora is created by hobbyists for hobbyists ever since it’s birth in 2020, after experiencing two previous rounds and making our other boards, we have been listening to new features requirements and also come to new understanding for our designs.

What we look forward from Aurora

* A comfortable and pleasing daily driver to work with

* A playable tool for fun and custom typing feel

* A light compact portable board to move around easily

What’s New We Bring with Aurora V2

* New Translucent and Solid colorway

* Tri-mode PCB with RGB

* Aluminium and PC Stitched plate

* 2D and 3D badge

* Aurora Num pad

The structural design idea - Adding more flexibility for mounting structure design and differentiate typing feel for mods and alphas. We replace gasket foams with gasket sleeves, so that we can choose gasket hardness or not to use at all, and add daughter board for PCB to give it more flex. However, we have found that most gasket mounted keyboards have a commonly seen problem - mod keys are too soft and difficult to press on. Therefore, we have partitioned the plate. The PC and aluminum structure makes mod keys stiffer, powerful and sound full, while the alphas enjoy the soft flex from normal PC plate.

Tri-mode PCB with RGB

Update from PCB with daughter board integration to daughter board and PCB separation type. Furthermore, the PCB of Aurora V2 is upgraded to tri-mode with RGB.

Aluminium and PC Stitched plate

The plate of Aurora V2 will be upgraded from the traditional PC plate to aluminium and PC Stitched plat design.

2D and 3D badge designs

Our designer @VAMP has designed these beautiful badge for V2.

* Aurora V2 - 3D Badge

* Aurora V2 - 2D Badges

Aurora num pad

Aurora V2 adds a matching color numeric pad as an option. It can improve the work efficiency and at the same time let you experience a different kind of customization.
