IKKI68 AURORA
Wuque teamed up with the very talented Rensuya to make an Aurora in the theme of this fan favorite set!
Just in time for SA and KAT Mizu to start arriving, and the GMK Mizu R2 GB later this year. Comes with a Wave badge, and additional badges are offered as extras.
Ikki68 Aurora is an affordable, injection molded, polycarbonate case, gasket-mount keyboard kit from Wuque Studio, the people behind Ikki68, OA Switches and more!
Every Aurora comes with a multi-layout, hot swap PCB powered by QMK and VIA.
You can choose any or all of the following: split backspace, split right shift, split left shift, split spacebars and ISO enter...no soldering required!
The Aurora uses a variable gasket structure where you can choose how many mounting points to use in order to adjust the amount of bounce / firmness to your liking.
You can also customize the keyboard with one of many extra badge designs in several different colors!
The very first GB round of this keyboard kit is scheduled to launch in February 24, 2021 and continue until March 10, 2021.
This first round is launching at a discounted price. Future rounds in different colors are planned.
Variable Gasket Mount System
There are 10 chips with gaskets on top that snap on to the bottom case.
Chips B, D, G and J are optional.
Install more chips for a firmer type feel, and install fewer for a bouncier feedback.
You can order Poron gasket if you prefer soft key feeling.
Silicon Damper
IKKI68 AURORA use silicon damper to mute the houisng
The frost white silicon damper will not interfer with underglow LED
Also kit contains damper that can be used btw plate and PCB
IKKI68 Aurora Bag
Ikki68 comes with hard keyboard case that can protect keybard safely.
EXTRA BADGES
Badges will be sold in a separate group buy
Due to the sheer logistical problems involved with offering 100+ SKUs of badges (20+ designs all together in 4+ colors), we will be separating the extra badges from the Ikki68 Aurora R1 group buy.
The extra badges will be offered through a separate group buy scheduled for March, 2021. The group buy will be run on Wuque Studio website only, and the badges will ship separately from your Ikki68 Aurora. Since they are small and light, most people shouldn't have to pay more than a few dollars for shipping. You should receive them at the same time, if not earlier than your Ikki68 Aurora.
This will result in faster fulfillment times and fewer errors. This will also give people additional time to design badges and consider which ones they want to buy.
Other bits of info on badges
- A Community badge is a badge designed by someone and available for anyone to buy. A Bespoke badge is an exclusive personal badge that's only available to one person or a very small group of people to buy.
- The badges for Ikki68 Aurora will be hot-swappable, meaning they can be changed without taking apart the case.
- The badges will be compatible with Ikki68 Aluminum with the use of an adapter.
- Aurora x Mizu and Aurora x Devoted badges only come in light blue and light purple, respectively. Those designs are not available in other colors, and other community / bespoke badges won't be offered in those colors.
- We may offer a multi-pack of badges, design/color of your choice, that would come with a metal / acrylic display case.
For more info on Community and Bespoke badges, and to see a list of the submitted designs for consideration, please visit the "Custom Badge" channel group in our Discord server.
Aurora x Mizu additional badges
Koi and Water on The Moon have won by a landslide in the community vote.
These two badges will be available for purchase by anyone during the badge GB.
They only come in light blue, same color as the default "Waves" badge on Aurora x Mizu.
Stabilizer
IKKI68 Aurora stabilizer is same with OA stabilizers
These stabilizers were designed to minimize the rattle as much as possible.
The wires clip into the housing and fit into the sliders very snugly.
As a result the wires are also less prone to popping out when changing keycaps.
MIZU edition contain a set of MIZU theme stabilizers
Bluetooth
Charcoal & Mint also come in a Bluetooth variant for $155
Everything is the same as above,
only the QMK wired PCB (Fairbanks) is swapped with the Bluetooth PCB (Tromso). Battery not included. More details in the PCB section below.
PCB
Ikki68 Aurora GB will offer 4 different PCBs that each offer something different.
Fairbanks is the default PCB. QMK, wired, hot-swap and offers multi-layout support. Underglow but no per-key lighting.
Yellowknife is the same PCB, but it's soldered instead of hot-swap.
Lapland is similar to Yellowknife, but it offers per-key lighting at the expense of some layout support.
Finally, Tromso is an updated version of the Bluetooth PCB offered during the original Ikki68 Aluminum group buy.
Upgrades this time include hot-swap, underglow and an updated user interface.
A standard sized, widely available LiPo battery is required for Tromso, but is not included in this group buy due to shipping logistics. We will provide specs and links to purchase ($5-15) closer to the GB.
