Bakeneko65

Now available as a pre-built keyboard

Our version of the Bakeneko65 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 and solder PCBs with multi layout support.

Just add keycaps and switches for a complete build, or opt to have our experienced team build one for you!

Budget Price, Endgame Feel

Originally designed by kkatano, the Bakeneko65 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

Quality Disclaimer

In order to allow us a quicker cadence of restocks and keep the price low, our Bakeneko60 uses a casting process. Please reference the quality guide below on what you can expect for surface finish quality with the Bakeneko60.

Great kit to get a person started on keyboards. A little tricky getting the wiring positioned right but other than that awesome! Wish it came with a RGB PCB but that is no matter.

Great Board!

I bought this board for a commissioned build and I loved the way it turned out! Was a nice clacky and poppy sound, so on the higher end of the spectrum, which isn’t usually my favorite, but I actually really liked this board. It was super easy to build, and I love that they include a cloth and carrying case with the board!
