I can't repeat this often enough: offering a pre-built keyboard AND also sharing the design files is my favorite distribution model. This is the best way to inject a GB/preorder into kbd.news. Just saying. 😉

The Mün 2 by RGBKB is the successor to the original Mün kit, a split ortholinear keyboard. The PCB has hotswap MX sockets with RGB backlight, 2x RP2040 microcontrollers, all-USB-C and ESD protection.

An internal cable is provided to connect the PCBs together for certain 60% cases.

Kits are available (preorder) at RGBKB.net.

Specs

  • 70 keys (7x5 halves)
  • ortholinear
  • MX, hotswap
  • RP2040 MCU
  • up to 3 rotary encoders per half
  • RGB backlight
  • optional all-metal case + wooden wrist rest
