Chilkey

Chilkey builds CNC aluminum keyboards sold both as barebones kits and fully assembled, consistently with tri-mode PCBs, plate mount stabilizers and multi-layer foam. The two in this index are the Paw65, a 65% with swappable RGB cat ear diffusers, and the ND75 LP, a low profile 75% that can be built as a gasket mount or a top mount from the same case.

Paw65

65%

A 65% aluminum board with swappable RGB cat ear diffusers, sold as a barebones kit and as an assembled board. Gasket mount on an FR4 plate, tri-mode with Bluetooth 5.0 across three paired devices, and two 2250 mAh cells, which is the same 4500 mAh Keebs for All quotes from the other direction. Hot-swap is blank because neither shop says the 1.2 mm tri-mode PCB is hot-swap, and price is blank because the barebones and assembled editions are separate listings at different money and the two shops do not agree on the barebones figure either.

ND75 LP

75%Hot-swap

A low profile 75% that ships built, and the interesting part is that the same case supports two mounting styles, a silica gel particle gasket mount or a top mount, so it can be made soft or firm without buying a second board. The Aster low profile linears are quoted at 45 g actuation and 3.0 mm of total travel, which is shorter than a standard MX switch and part of why the front height is 9.3 mm. Plate is blank: the only listing that carries this version names both an aluminum plate and an FR4 plate without saying which one goes where. CannonKeys has an ND75 page in this data whose description is for a different keyboard entirely, so it is not cited here.
