Build Info

Kyuu, designed and released by Quantrik back in 2018, is a well known custom Mechanical Keyboard within the community. It featured a rather unique aesthetic at the time with a top right corner badge and the display of sandwiched plate along the side of the keyboard. The most notable thing about this keyboard is that Quantrik decided to release the design of the board to the public, subject to certain terms of use, so that people can “create a copy of the board for personal use as opposed to paying a large sum in the aftermarket.”
