Among the roots of the trees you awaken,
Birds leer rapturously upon your disoriented visage,
The redstart solemnizes your parturition with angelic aria,
You recall the year was at its twilight, yet now birthed anew, blossoming with verdant,
All of your consciousness, connected with the weald like hyphae,
Abstracting your past life beyond all fragile recall,
This caerdroia is sacred, you know that you are home now. The trees willed it.

Designed with Purpose

At the heart of Caerdroia lies immense attention to detail, and thoughtful design. Designed with two-toned anodization in mind, the details of the design come to life and expose every decision made on the path taken.

TKL Roots, Reimagined

Caerdroia stays true to the roots of a classic TKL with its F12 layout and top mounted structure- but it's not afraid to branch out. The group buy version coming soon to CannonKeys will be EC and Alps ready, with respective kits available as addons.

The plate kitted in by default is a 4.5mm thick frosted PC CNC plate. Not for the faint of heart, this plate adds a slight layer of rigidity to the typing feel while not deadening the sound. This allows your build choices to truly shine.

Caerdroia will be sold in via group buy starting April 11th, and will start at $420.

Engineered by AKB
Brought to you by CannonKeys

Designed out of passion, not necessity, AKB cut no corners when it came to mapping out what he wanted in a TKL. We can't wait to bring it to you. So we're not.

The Caerdroia group buy is coming to CannonKeys April 11th.

Quality/Content Disclaimer

A Stock units should not have any external scratches or egregious marks seen when built. Any internal flaws and marks (including hook marks) that are not seen when built do not constitute a B Stock unit.

Screw holes are not fully anodized or coated, and small marks near the hole opening might be present.

We try to use as many real pictures as we can to represent the keyboard as best as possible, however to supplement these photos we use renders occasionally. These renders may vary slightly compared to the final product.

Colors in the final product may vary since renders are done under idealistic artificial lighting.

When raw or thinly coated, brass will oxidize and patina naturally. Small blemishes and discolorations may be visible.

Group Buy Disclaimer
