Good things.
All the way down.
Five layers. Hundreds of small decisions.
One very good feeling.
Double-shot PBT. Sculpted to meet you.
EVERY KEY HAS A PURPOSE.EVERY DETAIL EARNS ITS PLACE.EVERY DAY, A LITTLE BETTER.
02 / THE FEELINGLESS NOISE. MORE INTENTION.
It’s the little things.
You feel all day.
The weight when you set it down. The give under your fingers. The sound of a thought becoming a sentence. We kept working until they felt right.

Smooth by nature.
Our factory-lubed Kestrel Linear switches pair a long-pole stem with a 45 g actuation. No bump. No scratch. Just a clean, rounded note.

At home, anywhere.
A cable when you want it. Wireless when you don’t. Switch between three Bluetooth devices, or go 1000 Hz with USB-C and 2.4 GHz.
Not another keyboard.
The first one we wanted to put our name on.
PORTO, PORTUGAL.

06 / A FEW GOOD QUESTIONSBefore
Before
your first key.
The things you might be wondering.
When will my Kestrel One arrive?
Pre-orders ship in 6–8 weeks, worldwide. Shipping is free on orders over $200, so either keyboard edition qualifies.
Can I change the switches?
Absolutely. The hot-swap PCB accepts both 3-pin and 5-pin switches, with no soldering required. It arrives with factory-lubed Kestrel Linear switches. A pack of 90 replacement Kestrel Linears is also available for $39.
Will it work with my setup?
Kestrel One works with macOS, Windows, Linux, iPadOS and Android. Keycaps for both Mac and Windows layouts are included. Connect over USB-C, the 2.4 GHz dongle, or Bluetooth 5.3 with up to three paired devices.
How much can I make it my own?
Start with Dusk, Bone or Signal. Change your switches, remap your keys with QMK/VIA-compatible open-source firmware or the browser configurator, and set the south-facing per-key RGB to suit your desk.
What’s different about the Founders Edition?
The Founders Edition pairs a brass plate with a solid brass weight, bringing it to 2.4 kg instead of 1.9 kg. Every keyboard is individually numbered, in a limited run of 500. It’s $299; the standard Kestrel One is $249.
And if it’s not my kind of feeling?
You have 30 days to return it, no questions asked. If something isn’t right after that, every part is covered by our two-year warranty.
