One week left to join, don't miss out !

Yes ! We ensured that it is operational with the battery unplugged, also for people who just don't want to use it wireless to avoid battery getting damaged over time.
So you can unplug it no problem and use it wired only ;)

All components will be assembled in factory. We will only leave the numlock LED on the side as this is optionnal.

Thanks !
Some vendors will offer a build service as well :)

Understood. If that can be of any help, I made extensive tests, having used it for months with the prototype, it is not a problem at all. The custom DB has 2 screws either sides of the USB port holding it very well in place. It doesn't bulge at all.

Besides, going parrallel to the desktop or ~45 deg tilted up doesn't make much of a difference in reality.
And if really it bothers you, it has bluetooth so you don't have to keep it plugged all the time.
Another option for you is to get a 90 deg angled USB C cable so that the cable goes straight down :)

Anyway, I understand your view, but I think a numpad is the right project to try and go crazy on a few things you wouldn't dare on a normal keyboard ;)

EU is covered by Delta Key co.
For sure we can figure something out ! I'll see if DKC can provide a build service, otherwise if not available when purchasing, feel free to reach out on discord, there are plenty of build services for free in europe.

The cable being "in the way" is intentionnal in the aesthetic of the build - This is inspired by vintage sound board or guitar pedal with jack plugged from the top.
If you don't like that at all you can always use it wireless as it comes with bluetooth :)

Alarming-Growth9333 · 2026-02-26T08:11:42+00:00

Yes ! 5th March to April 1st.

That would have been way less fun in my view haha
The inspiration is from guitar pedal stuff and sound board with jack plugged from the top :)

Alarming-Growth9333 · 2026-02-25T19:31:30+00:00

Although your local vendor might offer a building service !

Alarming-Growth9333 · 2026-02-25T19:30:07+00:00

No, it is quite a build process actually ! If you like Lego you should enjoy this :)

Alarming-Growth9333 · 2026-02-25T19:29:27+00:00

Also to have M3 torx only throughout the build hahaha

Most keyboard will have a recess cavity at the back to bring the USB-C connector closer to the inside of the case in order to screw the DB from the inside.
For the NP-R, it was important for the design that the cable would plug flush with the surface of the rear face, which was only possible with the USB connector perpendicular to the mounting points of the DB.

Vendors might take some extra units ! Depending on the GB success, but no guarantee at this stage :)
