Bakeneko60

Our version of the Bakeneko60 features a few key changes from kkatano's original design: We closed the bottom holes, added cutouts to the plate (to allow for assembly removal), and modified the case to be made using a casting process. We also designed our own hotswap & solder PCBs with multiple layout support.

Just add keycaps and switches for a complete build! Our Build Guide will help you build this kit from start to finish. For added comfort, pair your Bakeneko with a wooden wrist rest.

Budget Price, Endgame Feel

Originally designed by kkatano, the Bakeneko60 is an open-source keyboard featuring an o-ring gasket. An o-ring between the plate and PCB provides friction to hold the plate/PCB assembly in the one-piece case. Cutouts on the PCB allow the o-ring to rest on the mounting points built into the case. The result is a bouncy typing feel with a great sound profile

Customize Your Build

Several addons are available including different types of o-rings, wrist rests, and PCBs!

Fantastic Entry Board

Bought as my first custom keyboard and it was a very enjoyable building experience that is of fantastic value for the price. The Bakeneko60 offers a soft, comfortable typing experience with a classic gummy o-ring sound that is hard to beat. At this price, I don't believe there is a better option for custom keyboards.

Showed me what a custom keyboard could be

After a buggy Ducky One 3 and an overdampened KBD67 Lite left me underwhelmed, the Bakeneko60 finally gave me an intro to custom keyboards. I still love typing on it and the clacky fullness of the alphas that go along with the o-ring mount. The stock FR4 plate suits it well, and many switches sound good without relying on filler, so you get a sense what they might sound like in other keyboards. This is also a low-cost way to try a 60%, and it travels easily. It can sound metallic on the right mods due to the o-ring tightness there, but it's not bad. If you don't like it, a small amount of poly-fill removes it almost entirely (and leaves the sound mostly intact, otherwise). Sometimes, it's just nice to return to the Bakeneko. I keep restraining myself from impulse buying a second, NG Red one. (Mine is black.)

The NG coatung is much better.
