Vida
a 60% by James from AKB | Launching Black Friday
VIDA is the culmination of several rounds of prototypes and community feedback, and we cannot wait to get it into your hands. The top and bottom case assembly is screwless via magnets, we are offering a ZMK powered wireless option, WK/WKL/HHKB will all be offered, and we've got something extra special planned for the Black Friday launch day.
Mounting Style
VIDA uses a unique version of bottom mount that utilizes poron dampeners and nylon alignment pins. The plate screws into the bottom case, and the top case is connected to the bottom through integrated magnets that are automatically aligned thanks to the alignment pins.
Wireless Enabled
VIDA is designed with wireless in mind. Opt for the wireless kit to receive a ZMK powered PCB and battery that slots into the bottom case. Alternatively, you can choose a standard wired PCB. To learn more about ZMK, check out our recent blogpost.
Elegantly Designed
VIDA combines form and function with it's stunning side profile, and seamlessly integrated USB hub. When wired, you can connect USB devices to save some desk space and reduce clutter.
