Cat65 is the result of a collaboration between Jacky Design and their good friend :3ildcat! Using the cat as the central theme of the board’s animal-inspired design, the case was molded over an extensive design process to create a pleasantly curved board with a refined profile and a shallow angle for comfortable typing, adorned on its underside with a decorative cute cat weight in your choice of mirror PVD steel, and anodized or matte coated aluminum!
Extras for the Cat65 include spare plates, wired PCBs with included daughterboard and JST cable, and five varieties of decorative weight!

Designed to honour the materials used in its construction, Chapter 1 shows off the parts that make up the board in a sophisticated and striking fashion. Mix and match plates, knobs, and weights to create the board of your dreams, with hundreds of possible combinations! All Chapter 1 boards come with a shell case and a promotional comic book, and several deskmats that match the comic’s style are available for purchase!
Chapter 1 features an engraved single-piece weight that spans the width of the keyboard, creating an amazing typing sound that only gets better with higher density weight material like brass, copper, or steel! Each Chapter 1 case also comes with an encoder knob that matches the material and colour of the chosen kit, with alternate colours and materials available for separate purchase!
Finally, the Chapter 1‘s leaf spring plate was designed to achieve a bouncier, softer typing feel that is perfectly realized in the polycarb and aluminum plates, with the brass and copper plates providing a more rigid option for those who prefer a more traditional typing experience!

MM Studios are debuting their newest creation: the Class 80, a TKL board inspired by the retro aesthetic and iconic white-and-red case of the Famicom. Inheriting the wide bezel design of its predecessor – the Class 65 – the Class 80 has a vintage chunkiness that gives it an air of authenticity, furthered by the distinctive controller-shaped weight on the bottom of the board and the included buzzer and solenoid to give you that old-school sound. Class 80 is available in three colourways; an aluminum case in E-white or E-red, or anodized black. Furthermore, both solder and hotswap PCBs are available, with a hotswap BLE PCB option for those who prefer a wireless board.
Extras for Class 80 include a wide variety of full and half-plates, PCBs, indicator lights, a signature keycap set, spare solenoids and buzzers, and more!
We’re proud to be working with Angry Miao to present the CYBERBOARD R2, paying homage to the classic Saint Laurent’s “Le Smoking”!
Angry Miao officially released its next-generation product in the CYBERBOARD series “CYBERBOARD Le Smoking” on May 27, 2021. Not only has it been fully upgraded in terms of performance and design, it also took a large part of its inspiration from the matte and glossy elements from the Saint Laurent Le Smoking suit. Once again, Angry Miao presents a truly unique keyboard that breaks through the limitations of current manufacturing technology.
With regard to the bold design of this keyboard, Angry Miao founder Li Nan mentioned in an interview that “A good design is impossible without considering the culture context behind the product. High-end fashion brands often inspire design trends within the consumer electronics industry. By paying homage to Saint Laurent and Hedi Slimane, we hope to take a leading role in moving the consumer electronics industry forward when it comes to design trends.”

True to its name, Ellora65 retains the ever-popular 65% layout, setting itself apart from the competition with a left-side macro column and knob, as well as a programmable OLED screen on the upper-right.
Several optional parts are available for the Ellora65; including five plate materials, eight colours of aluminium knob, and three types of PCB!

Please Note
- Hotswap PCBs will need to have the encoder knob and OLED screen soldered to them, as they do not come pre-soldered from the factory.

The Freebird60 is provided by KeebsForAll, who wanted to make an easily affordable, easily accessible keyboard with everything but the switches and keycaps provided! Available in four case colours and the choice of three plate materials with a fourth available in extras, alongside the fact that it ships with a full set of Durock V2 screw-in stabilizers, dampening, and even electrophoresis for the coating – you’ll have a hard time finding better value for a starter board than this!
Also available is the Case Only option, in which you will receive the case, dampener + feet, rubber o-rings and screws, and the carrying case, and will have to purchase all other parts separately.
Extra parts available are additional PCBs and plates in three materials (gold/bronze-anodized aluminum, white POM, and black FR4).
KeebsForAll continues to expand the Freebird product line with the Freebird75! In keeping with KFA’s core values of budget-friendliness and high quality, the Freebird75 offers multiple mounting and layout styles to choose from at the value-oriented prices we’ve come to expect!
Several piecemeal parts are available for the Freebird75! Pick up an extra PCB or plate in any of the varieties listed on the main group buy page, grab the optional brass plate, or snag a spare carrying case!

The Igloo was created by a pair of enthusiasts, highlighting the unique bouncy feeling that a plateless board is capable of producing – to this end, the Igloo was designed to use a tadpole mount for its solderable PCB. The case is designed to evoke the rounded figure of an igloo, and is available in three cool colours, as well as both WK and WKL layouts!
