In 2024 we ran our first public group-buy with the PoorKoi 1, an acrylic stacked keyboard. 30 happy users were very surprised by the clack of this simple 60% made with love. This was our first project, mistakes were made, but we learned a lot and we got confident that we could push even further: having the same thing in a cnc'd polycarbonate version!
We are aiming for the same clack and feeling with the polycarbonate version – with an affordable price. No brass weight or copper that are expensive if you don't sell 200 units. Simple design with references of the v1.
We had to make a stand between affordability and customization with a trusty and high quality manufacturer while upgrading our game : laser cut Poron gaskets, custom carrying case, in house hotswap pcb (as well as new solder one) !
