The exact keyboard I was looking for, and the only one of its kind :)

Thanks for your kind review! The FoldKB is a great ortholinear choice. :)
Happy Typing,
Kayla at Keebio!

Friggin legendary, super fun to set up and type on

Love this thing.

I actually selected it based on the price but it turns out this keyboard brings unique features to the world of mechanical keyboards and I couldn't be happier with it.

I paired it with a standard set of keycaps (mystery set from cannon keys) and asked Keeb.io to let me order switches separately. Super nice of them to be flexible on that! I went with Haimu Whisper Tactiles and am in love with the build.

This was my first time soldering a keyboard from PCB and I was surprised at how easy and fun it was to put together.

I am also extremely happy with the dead-simple programmability of each individual keys, and the built-in LED underglow doesn't hurt either.

Very fun keyboard to type on! Highly recommendedd especially to the budget conscious. I'm racking my brains to figure out why this is cheaper than other split keyboards. Beats me!

So fun to type on, and the ortho layout only took me a couple of days to adjust to, having never used one before.

I enthusiastically recommend this keyboard, well done by Keebio!

This is a fantastic fit and good sound! Def recommend!

Fantastic board, be aware the keys are straight up down not standard layout, fantastic quality
