Introduction
Created by Japanese keyboard designer, @Salyicylic_acid3, the Naked48LED is a unique 48 key ortholinear keyboard. It is designed to utilize Kailh Low Profile Choc switches in order to be as thin as possible. The split alpha keys enable a more comfortable typing experience while the bottom row is arranged to allow more keys to be accessible without reaching.
Each kit also comes with a red, blue, or black Yukata Cover. The Yukata Covers are made from a synthetic suede material similar to what you would find in a high end sports car. Each cover includes beautiful artwork printed on each side of a PCB plate. Black and blue Yukata Covers will come with artwork printed on a black background. Red Yukata Covers will ship with artwork printed on a white background.
