KY-01 Budget 60%
The KY-01 Budget 60% keyboard project has been paused due to insufficient convincing feedback to order a prototype. Despite positive responses, the creator is shifting focus to another design as the market for budget models is smaller than anticipated. A revised design will be revisited later.
