Originally conceived back in 2021, before the foundation of Deadline Studio, the New Retro #66 is designed to mix the modern with the retro. The board features a “layer-up” structure that encases its opaque aluminum case in a translucent polycarb shell, further decorated by spliced parts, exposed screws, and aesthetically-pleasing brackets and blocks, giving it its signature cobbled-together, almost prototypical appearance.
The New Retro #66‘s strong personality is backed up by quality components and lots of options for customization, with each board including an extensive foam kit, two knobs, and your choice of wired or dual-mode hotswap PCB! The aforementioned PCB was designed and produced by the fine folks at Mechlovin’ Studio, and features full QMK/VIA compatibility!

Designed by streamline, the saevus Cor was created following a 6-month plunge into the foam rabbit hole; they felt that, while the foamed boards sounded great, the uniformity between their sound detracted from the personality of each. Thus, the saevus Cor was created: a plateless 65% XT keyboard that aims to produce a unique sound without the need for case foam. Beyond the gentle half-heart-shaped slopes of the case’s profile, considerations for comfort are present within the saevus Cor‘s design, as it features a low 6.5° typing angle and a cherry lip on the case front – providing a more comfortable typing experience when used without a wrist rest.
Extras for saevus Cor include PCBs, plates, and badges in a variety of materials!

The saevus Cor has an aluminum case, available in 8 colours across two finishes – light blue, vibrant red, deep navy, lilac, rose gold, silver, and electrophoresed black or white. The board’s 65% layout is bookended by split XT macro columns, lending it a symmetrical appearance and a more even weight distribution, as well as a place to put artisan caps and helpful macros. Internally, the saevus Cor uses a brass weight, with a copper badge sporting a simple but attractive icon adorning the bottom. The board is meant to be assembled platelessly with its solderable PCB, but a polycarbonate plate is nonetheless included for hotswap users, as well as those who simply prefer to use one.

SP-111 R2 is the brainchild of BlindAssassin111, who has spent the past few years tweaking and modifying the original SP-111’s design, then iterating on these changes until satisfied. These changes include (but are not limited to): a lower profile due to a reduction in the height of both the case and the feet, added microcontrollers on both PCBs, and RGB status indicators as well as a polycarb light pipe located on the left side of the board.
So, why a split southpaw layout? Considerations for comfort and productivity are at the core of this decision – split boards can be arranged in whatever formation the user desires, and the southpaw layout allows easy access to the numpad while simultaneously using a mouse, which is very useful for data entry jobs as well as other applications such as CAD. Furthermore, the right half of the board’s uses 1800-style arrows and a vertical nav cluster, giving the SP-111 R2 the utility of a full-size board while fitting into a smaller form factor.
Extra PCBs, plates in both aluminum and carbon fibre, and carrying cases are available for this project!

Heracles80 is a TKL with a bold personality, created out of CHAOSERA’s design to do something unconventional. The two-piece aluminum case is made up of an anodized outer case that frames an oxidized inner case with a polished chamfer and is available in three colour options – Black or White with a gold accent, or an all-black Dark colourway. The underside of the board is home to a stainless steel weight covered by beautiful PVD-coated titanium relief, securely fastened to the board by distinctive golden buckles.
Heracles80 comes with a polycarb plate by default, though other plates are available for separate purchase, and uses what is being called a “bottom gasket” mounting solution. By not restricting the downward movement of the plate and PCB and instead opting to fill the case with foam, the bottom gasket mount creates a soft typing sensation and unique sound. To this end, the Heracles80 comes with a 9-piece foam kit, allowing you to fine-tune the specifics of your typing experience by using Sponge, Poron, and CR foams of different thicknesses to fill the board.
Check out the Heracles80 keyboard itself!
