The Viendi 8L Keyboard Kit is an exceptional, customizable mechanical keyboard kit with an unorthodox 1800/90%-like layout . It combines a full set of keys with a left-mounted numpad and rotary encoder – ideal for users who prioritize productivity, creative workflows, or ergonomic control. This DIY kit comes without switches or keycaps and requires soldering of all components, giving you complete control over sound, feel, and configuration. The high-quality aluminum construction and sandwich assembly provide not only a solid, durable chassis but also a balanced typing and sound experience, further enhanced by internal damping foam.
