Lattice Block Mount System by Mode:

We’re using Carbon’s DLS™ 3D Printing Process to develop an elastomeric lattice structure mounting block bringing you a novel mounting system so you can fine tune your typing experience to be as flexible or stiff as you want.

This is the same process used to create the Adidas Futurecraft 4D 3D-Printed mid-sole.

Our first lattice block mount utilizes Voronoi Lattice patterns to create an even, bouncy, and flexible typing experience. The solid block mount uses the same proprietary materials and printing process to produce a firmer, more responsive, yet still comfortable typing experience.

The whole system is secured by two fasteners that prevent the internal assembly from moving upwards but have no impact on downwards movement.

​

Will you guys make a wireless board at some point? I would love to buy one of your boards but the 2.4G on the QK keyboards keep me so far!

Honest question: why did you put the accent where it can’t be seen? What’s the point?

So confusing after your excellent accents on the Sixty-five and the Sonnet, which were so good I bought extra accents for both.
