OGR by AKB

The second round of OGR is live in GB starting July 25th!

From the designer

"It's an old story now. The OGR was originally designed as an entry for the OG Summer competition on r/customkeyboards in 2019. When it won the top spot my chosen prize was a fully-funded prototype,and Simon's wallet has quietly resented me ever since.

During the obsessive research phase before landing on the final layout and design I grew a real attachment to keyboard/computer design of the 80s and early 90s. I cherry-picked some features from my favourite boards as inspiration (G80-0832, G81-3077 & G80-0530), and combined them in a way that eventually become the OGR. I self-ran the group buy in 2022, for better or worse, and I'm grateful that the feedback from people who use them regularly since they shipped in 2023 has been wholly positive, so I've planned to run this again for quite some time.

I'm terrible at leaving things as they are, and it wouldn't feel right to just milk one design until it's dry, so I've made some minor adjustments this time round."

Quality/Render 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.
