The Adelie Keyboard

We're happy to bring you the Adelie Keyboard, designed by Abec13. Here's what he had to say about his inspiration:

"As more people should, I take this hobby pretty lightly. The Adélie is named after a type of penguin. I like penguins. The board layout inspiration comes from a combination of the CA66, my previous board, the 45-ATS, and the TMO50 v1. The board shape inspiration comes from a combination of the CA66Elephant S7, and the side "weights" are something that I pulled from the GMK Q100There was a lot of interest in the 45-ATS but some people were wishing for the full punctuation. I hear your call - here's my answer."

Quality Disclaimer:

Each version of the Adelie is inclusive of three (3) unique, individual PVD brass parts that are essential to the character and design language of each board. The use of PVD is accompanied by a higher fail-rate and therefore a higher price but is still within the reasonable margins for this complex assembly.

With the inclusion of PVD and the modern limitations of it there is a certain level of quality expectations to be noted:

  • There will be no dents, scuffs, or noticeable scratches on exposed surfaces such as the side weights and the body of the penguin.
  • PVD Parts may contain micro-scratches which are only viewable under certain, harsh light conditions and are incredibly difficult to photograph.
  • Recessed faces and internal/unexposed faces, such as on the eye of the Penguin decal, and the internal part of the side weights respectively will contain machining marks and are not considered defects in the quality control process.
  • For the body of the board, there may be minor anodization grain visible under harsh light as well as minor color variation between the top and bottom halves of the board.

B Stock units have minor defects ranging from small dents, scratches, and anodization/PVD blemishes. Units below B grade are not for sale.
