We have started the Group Buy for the Waka, a very affordable, Pac-man inspired ortholinear DIY kit. It will run until October 25th, no specific time. It might even run over into the next day, it really depends on when I remember to turn the listing off. The base price is $40 USD dollars. We are expecting to start shipping before the end of the year.

The Waka is an FR4 stack kit so it’ll come with PCB, bottom plate, switch plate, a BlackPill, and all the necessary components and assembly hardware. All you’ll need to provide to have a working board is keycaps, stabilizers, and switches. Since this kit uses a BlackPill, it will be USB-C ready right out of the box. If that USB-C isn’t enough bells and whistles for you, we have a literal bell and a not very literal whistle included in the kit. The base kit includes a piezo speaker which you can configure to make lots of fun sounds.

Kit Contents

Switch plate, PCB, bottom plate
LED Strip
BlackPill dev board and all necessary components
Encoder and knob
Screws, standoffs, rubber bumpons

The Waka uses a symmetrical layout with two 6x4 key clusters with a little bit of space in between and a slightly staggered, centered bottom row. In the space between the clusters is where the indicator LEDs, BlackPill, and knob live. As with previous releases, you can use a normal MX switch instead of the knob and encoder. The bottom row supports a 7u spacebar, 2-3-2 split spacebars, 2-1-2 split spacebars, and all 1u keys.
