SONOMA
A 65% mechanical keyboard that introduces a distinctive contrast - circular elements set into an otherwise rectangular form, guided by a minimalist, symmetrical design philosophy.
Lead designer: Beni Klein // @radkbds
Form, from the moon
Sonoma - from the Native American name for "valley of the moon." The name guides the form: circular geometry threaded through a strict rectangular case, multiple viewing angles refined by hand, every line earning its place.

Flex by design
The gasket-mounted plate-on-PCB sandwich isn't decorative - it's tuned.
Press a key and the entire assembly absorbs into the silicone gaskets, returning energy back into the typist's hand.
Three Ways to Mount
o-ring mount
A single silicone O-ring suspends the plate off the case. The softest, bounciest mount.
plate mount
Gaskets cushion a plate-and-PCB sandwich. Balanced flex with structure underfoot.
pcb mount
Gaskets straight onto a plateless PCB. Maximum flex — direct, soft, and lightweight.
Two Durometers
Silicone gasket sets in 50A (orange) and 80A (black) ship in every box.
Soft cushion or firm direct — swap them like guitar strings to tune the typing feel.
