Product Description

The Wired In Sonoma is a 65% wired mechanical keyboard designed for users who value a compact layout with customizable typing feel. It suits hobbyists who want to experiment with switch swapping and gasket-mounted boards, as well as typists seeking a balance between portability and typing comfort. Its hotswap PCB and QMK/VIA compatibility allow for flexible key remapping and switch changes without soldering.

Key Features

  • Hotswap or solder PCB options let users easily change switches or build a custom layout.
  • QMK and VIA firmware support enables extensive key remapping and macro programming.
  • Proprietary gasket mount with silicone gaskets provides a softer, cushioned typing feel that reduces harsh feedback.
  • Multiple gasket durometers (50A and 80A) allow users to tune typing softness and sound.

Build Quality

  • Case options include anodised aluminium and frosted polycarbonate, offering different weight and acoustic properties.
  • Weight options in stainless steel or copper add heft for stability and sound dampening.
  • Plate choices of aluminium, carbon fibre, or FR4 provide varied rigidity and typing response.
  • Dimensions and a 6.8° typing angle support ergonomic hand positioning in a compact form.

Typing Experience

  • Gasket mount design isolates the plate and PCB with silicone, softening keypress impact and reducing noise.
  • Choice of gasket hardness lets users customize the board’s acoustic and tactile feedback.
  • Front height of 19.7mm and angled case promote a comfortable wrist position for extended typing sessions.

Compatibility

  • 65% layout supports most common key clusters while saving desk space.
  • USB-C wired connection ensures reliable and low-latency input.
  • QMK and VIA firmware compatibility allows use across multiple operating systems with customizable layouts.

Trade-offs

  • Wired only, so less convenient for users needing wireless connectivity.
  • Proprietary gasket mount may limit compatibility with aftermarket mounting modifications.
  • Compact 65% layout may omit dedicated function row or navigation cluster preferred by some users.
