salvun

The PCB is supported by silicon rubber standoffs attached to FR4 (fiberglass) leaf springs mounted to the case. Foam pads underneath the leaf springs provide vibration dampening and force modulation.

The leaf springs provide exceptional flexibility, allowing the entire plate/PCB subassembly to yield under keystrokes and vibrate in isolation from the case. The result is a typing experience that is soft and vibrant across the whole keyboard.

The SALVATION is designed for customization and experimentation. Build it with the stock FR4 plate, or use third-party 60% plates made of metal or plastic. Build it half-plate or plateless. Tweak the foam pad placement to make the leaf springs more or less flexible. Modify the stock FR4 plate to have slots that match the WT60-D WEIRDFLEX PCB, or into a half-plate design. Make your own leaf springs out of other materials.

Solder and Hotswap PCBs, as well as additional plates, can be purchased alongside the Salvation keyboard or separately here!

“Throughout various cultures, lavender is represented in food, drinks, and fashion. GMK Lavender is inspired by these uses throughout the world, as well as the flower’s calming color. I chose a more muted shade of lavender for this set to reflect how this color is used in modern culture and fashion.

The Rabenda kit features katakana [カタカナ] sub legends to pay homage to the lavender fields of Japan’s Hokkaido prefecture and the Japanese language of flowers, hanakotoba [花言葉], which derives from the use of katakana to transcribe words from western cultures.

The Bouquet kit designs are inspired by botanical and popular culture aspects of lavender.” – dotnick
