Line by line...

Gradient is an all-new original 65% keyboard; a clear departure from previous JJWKB keyboard releases. While our previous keyboard concepts emphasized the use of curves as defining features, Gradient instead creates a unique identity with bold spanning lines and negative space. Offers both a refined "inverted" o-ring mounting and PCB gasket mounting method.

Simplicity at its best

The foundation for Gradient's design is built upon its deeply-recessed steel weight, splitting the keyboard and base in two with a polished core. The negative space created by the overhang is then broken with a contrasting USB housing block, lending to a surprisingly simple yet unique aesthetic.

Back to square zero

Gradient was initially designed and prototyped in 2022, undergoing several iterations before becoming what it is today. This limited-release for Gradient will be visibly decorated with the unique "R0" badge, marking these initial units as the first to be publicly available. Further production rounds of Gradient will no longer be offered in the TAUPE anodization.
