Leading60
60% Leaf-Spring Keyboard (Inspired by the Leading Edge DC-2014)

Hello! We are MexonKeys, a new keyboard manufacturer founded in collaboration with a UK based keyboard designer. Unlike many keyboard studios/businesses, we have direct access to CNC machines to manufacture our keyboard designs.

About the Leading60:
As weird as it sounds, our goal for this project was to create a unique roomy and metallic sounding keyboard to make it sound more... "mechanical"??

We didn't want to create another muted sounding keyboard because we believe that there are already too many of those in the hobby. As keyboard enthusiasts we wanted to create something a little more unique for others to try
