Each board is built in the colourway you see, its switches lubed and its stabilisers tuned. Press Hear to listen to its switch, or type on it at the top of the page.

No boards with this feel right now.
Every board is the same sandwich: case, PCB, foam, plate, switches and caps. This is how ours go together.
Every switch is opened, its stem and spring brushed with lube, and closed again. Seventy switches make one long evening.
Foam is cut for the case and under the plate, so the hollow ring of an empty case becomes a low, even sound.
The plate sits on gaskets for a little give under the fingers. Stabilisers are clipped, lubed and balanced so the spacebar does not rattle.
The finished board is typed on key by key before it is boxed. If a key sounds wrong, it comes apart again.
