Our concept was to make a true gasket-mounted full aluminium keyboard that would provide excellent flexibility for typing. And it can be customized and adjusted exactly the way you want it to be. So we made it fully support QMK and VIA, making it easy for everyone to program every keystroke. For this we upgraded the chip to a STM and we changed the ribbon cable to a normal cable so its not that easy to break it for people new to this.
*You don't have to use this switch, you can also switch through the layers purely by using VIA, it's just something on top where u can switch between 2 set layers.
As an example:
Switch state 1: VIA layer 1
Switch state 2: VIA layer 3

InformationsWe are working on the first prototypes; this will be an unlimited run of the board, and real-life photos of the boards will be available later.
The estimated launch for this board is expected to be Q1 2022
Edit:
- WKL, rotary knob(F13), tsangan bottom row are things we are working on and may come in a separate run. To keep the price as low as it is, we need to make the board as simple as possible and appeal to as many customers as possible.
- Bluetooth isnt there, because BT and VIA arent working together, Keychron devs are on it but aslong VIA dont work with BT we will hold on wired only.
For release we now have 2 versions:
TKL:
TKL with Knob:
