A Dialogue of Materials
kafka is a 65% Hall-effect keyboard
engineered for feel
and designed to belong
in your favorite spaces.
Drawing from mid-century sensibilities,
its form balances warm wood and anodised
aluminium in quiet contrast.
It's also the namesake of the elegant
typeface by Barrett RM Type.
Hall-Effect Precision
No compromises on performance, with adjustable actuation, rapid-trigger and full analog control, available at your fingertips.
Engineered for Feel and Sound
With a hefty brass weight and two different gasket mounts, kafka delivers the feel of a bespoke build without any of the fuss.
No Assembly Required
This board arrives fully assembled and professionally configured, delivering near custom-level performance without the need for additional setup or tuning.
Features
High-Fidelity Input Scanning
Featuring an 8000Hz polling rate and 0.1mm actuation sensitivity, expect near-instant response times and highly precise key registration. With a clean yet powerful web configurator, every key is programmable to suit your preferences.
Pre-Tuned for Consistency
Each unit comes with pre-lubricated switches and stabilizers, offering a smooth and satisfying typing experience straight out of the box.
Doubleshot ABS Keycaps
Durable keycaps with crisp, fade-resistant legends are available in two classic colorways: White on Black and Classic Beige.
CNC-Machined Chassis
kafka’s case is machined from 6061 aluminium. Paired alongside a C360 brass weight, it provides rigidity, heft, and a deeper acoustic signature.
