Since 2021
Keyboards for people who type for a living.
We started because two of us had wrist pain by Thursday and couldn't find a split keyboard that felt like a finished product instead of a project.
12,400
Boards assembled and shipped since 2021
40
Boards per batch, so every one is typed on before it ships
2 yrs
Warranty with parts included, not just a repair quote
Process
Five steps, no shortcuts.
-
Design and prototype
Every shape is printed in resin and typed on for a week before it becomes aluminium. Three of the last five prototypes never shipped.
-
Machine the case
6063 aluminium, CNC-milled in a shop 40 km from ours, bead-blasted and anodised in batches so the colour matches across a run.
-
Assemble by hand
Switches seated with a jig, stabilisers tuned by ear, gaskets seated evenly. Two people, forty boards, one day.
-
Flash and test
Firmware flashed per half, radio paired, then a full page of text typed through every row and layer. Failures go back to step three.
-
Box it
Your test log, cables, feet and quick-start card, wrapped in recycled pulp. Tracking goes out the day it leaves the bench.
Materials
Chosen to be repaired, not replaced.
Every material decision is made twice: once for how it feels under your fingers, once for what happens in year four.
Aluminium, not plastic
A milled case keeps the board still under fast typing and can be re-anodised. It also holds the heat out of the cells, which is most of why ours last six weeks.
PBT keycaps
Double-shot legends that won't wear off, 1.5 mm walls, and a texture that stays grippy after a year of fingertips. Replaceable in any colour we stock.
Standard cells
Both halves use an off-the-shelf 3.7 V pack with a JST connector. No glue, no soldering, no proprietary shape — swap it yourself with a screwdriver.
Open firmware
ZMK is maintained by people who don't work for us. If we disappear tomorrow, your keymap, your firmware and your parts list still work.
Promise
What we won't do.
We won't glue a keyboard shut. We won't ship a board we haven't typed on. We won't sell you a subscription for software that runs locally. And we won't change a layout and quietly call it the same product.
If a board fails inside two years, we ship the part. If you'd rather not open it yourself, send it back and we'll do it — that's part of the price, not an upsell.

Come type on one.
We keep demo boards at the workshop and can post a loaner for a week if you're deciding between shapes.
