Aurora x Mizu is back, this time with an aluminum top and bottom case!

It uses the same great pick and choose gasket mount structure and incorporates all the upgrades from Ikki68 Aurora R2, including flex cut plates and PCB, and the all new Bluetooth PCB that's compatible with VIA!

Aurora x Mizu AE Bundle - includes keycaps!

The Aurora x Mizu AE Bundle includes Aurora x Mizu AE keyboard kit, Alumizu Base Kit and Alumizu WS Special Kit.

Aurora x Mizu AE keyboard is not being sold separately.

Limit

There will be a total of 1000 Aurora x Mizu AE keyboards produced. Mech.land has been allocated 120 of them.

There is a limit of 2x Aurora x Mizu AE bundle per house hold. No limit on anything else including Alumizu keycaps and add-ons such as extra plates, weights etc.

Add-ons

Add-ons and accessories are available to purchase from this page. They include extra badges, plates, PCB, internal weight and PORON dampener kit.

They can be purchased separately without purchasing the Aurora x Mizu AE bundle. They're compatible with all Ikki68 Auroras sold to date.

The keyboard comes with a Bluetooth PCB but no battery. The keyboard can still be used in wired mode without a battery, but you need to purchase one separately if you want to use it in wireless mode.

The battery can only be shipped within Canada. If you're in the US you can purchase the battery at NotJeffCNC.
