This board fits well for those seeking a minimalist, low-profile typing experience with a compact footprint.

Key Features

Reset button included for easy firmware flashing or troubleshooting.

Build Quality

Includes top and bottom plates along with a PCB designed around the Horizon construction style, which may affect typing feel and stability.
Comes with rubber feet to reduce movement and vibration on the desk.
Assembly requires installing switches, keycaps, and a Pro Micro footprint controller, giving users control over final build quality.

Compatibility and Customization

Supports low-profile Choc switches and keycaps exclusively, limiting switch options to this form factor.
Requires a separate Pro Micro footprint controller, enabling use of custom firmware and keymapping.
