Stream Recap: AKB Caerdroia (Prototype)
5We got the chance to take a look at a prototype of the AKB Caerdroia, an F12 TKL that will be running starting April 11th and starts at $420 USD. It features top mount with a 4.5mm THICC polycarbonate plate for unique sound and feel, easy assembly and disassembly, WK or WKL top case, and a two-port USB 3.0 Type A pass-through hub! It also has a beautiful, understated exterior design and a gorgeous powdercoated Brass weight with a Caerdroia (hedge maze) machined into it, and a subtle nod to one of the most slept on keycap profiles out there!
