{"product_id":"metanoia-group-buy","title":"Metanoia [Group buy]","description":"\u003cp\u003eMetanoia is a 65% custom mechanical keyboard kit featuring a dedicated left-side macro column with an optional top badge. A collaborative design by Alchemist Keyboards and Kezewa, this premium board comes in four distinct colorways. Most configurations use a full 6063 aluminum case, but the Alta Labe edition features a solid brass bottom with a custom patina finish, while the Alta Corde highlights this same unique patina across its weight accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe keyboard features a fly daughterboard mounted directly to the top case, making it exceptionally straightforward to assemble and disassemble. The highly versatile solder and hot-swap PCBs support multiple custom layouts and are fully programmable via QMK and VIA. Every kit includes your choice of a Carbon Fiber, Polypropylene, Polycarbonate, or Aluminum plate at no extra charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe group buy runs from May 29 to June 30, 2026, with production expected to wrap up in October 2026. Delivery time will depend entirely on your selected shipping and import method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFrom the designer, James\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween AKB projects, client work, and collaborations with teams like Glarses and CannonKeys, I’ve had the chance to bring over 120 keyboards to production over the past 7 years. As rewarding as that’s been, starting each new project with a completely blank slate has become increasingly difficult, and organic inspiration harder to come by.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetanoia began differently. What started as a conversation with Kevin from Kezewa (who provided the initial layout based on the JER-mini), shifted my usual process from concept-first to something more reactive. Instead of building everything in isolation, I made a conscious effort to open the design up, checking decisions along the way and allowing external input to shape the outcome. While the bulk of the design is still my own, that collaborative back-and-forth led to more organic compromises and a result that feels distinct from my previous work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name “Metanoia” reflects that shift. After years of approaching projects in a very self-contained way, this board represents a change in perspective both in how I design and how I want to approach future projects. Maybe that means bringing more people into the process, maybe it means sharing ideas earlier than I usually would. I’m not entirely sure yet, but this feels like the first step in that change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Alchemist Keyboards","offers":[{"title":"Alta Luna \/ Carbon Fiber (CF) \/ Solder","offer_id":49021324460259,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Luna \/ Carbon Fiber (CF) \/ Hot-swap","offer_id":49021324493027,"sku":null,"price":404.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Luna \/ Polypropylene (PP) \/ Solder","offer_id":49021324329187,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Luna \/ Polypropylene (PP) \/ Hot-swap","offer_id":49021324361955,"sku":null,"price":404.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Luna \/ Polycarbonate (PC) \/ Solder","offer_id":49021324394723,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Luna \/ Polycarbonate (PC) \/ Hot-swap","offer_id":49021324427491,"sku":null,"price":404.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Luna \/ Aluminum (ALU) \/ Solder","offer_id":49021324525795,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Luna \/ Aluminum (ALU) \/ Hot-swap","offer_id":49021324558563,"sku":null,"price":404.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Dolch \/ Carbon Fiber (CF) \/ Solder","offer_id":49021324198115,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Dolch \/ Carbon Fiber (CF) \/ Hot-swap","offer_id":49021324230883,"sku":null,"price":404.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Dolch \/ Polypropylene (PP) \/ Solder","offer_id":49021324067043,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Dolch \/ Polypropylene (PP) \/ Hot-swap","offer_id":49021324099811,"sku":null,"price":404.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Dolch \/ Polycarbonate (PC) \/ Solder","offer_id":49021324132579,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Dolch \/ Polycarbonate (PC) \/ Hot-swap","offer_id":49021324165347,"sku":null,"price":404.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Dolch \/ Aluminum (ALU) \/ Solder","offer_id":49021324263651,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Dolch \/ Aluminum (ALU) \/ Hot-swap","offer_id":49021324296419,"sku":null,"price":404.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Corde \/ Carbon Fiber (CF) \/ Solder","offer_id":49021324722403,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Corde \/ Carbon Fiber (CF) \/ Hot-swap","offer_id":49021324755171,"sku":null,"price":404.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Corde \/ Polypropylene (PP) \/ Solder","offer_id":49021324591331,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Corde \/ Polypropylene (PP) \/ Hot-swap","offer_id":49021324624099,"sku":null,"price":404.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Corde \/ Polycarbonate (PC) \/ Solder","offer_id":49021324656867,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Corde \/ Polycarbonate (PC) \/ Hot-swap","offer_id":49021324689635,"sku":null,"price":404.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Corde \/ Aluminum (ALU) \/ Solder","offer_id":49021324787939,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Corde \/ Aluminum (ALU) \/ Hot-swap","offer_id":49021324820707,"sku":null,"price":404.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Labe \/ Carbon Fiber (CF) \/ Solder","offer_id":49021324984547,"sku":null,"price":575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Labe \/ Carbon Fiber (CF) \/ Hot-swap","offer_id":49021325017315,"sku":null,"price":580.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Labe \/ Polypropylene (PP) \/ Solder","offer_id":49021324853475,"sku":null,"price":575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Labe \/ Polypropylene (PP) \/ Hot-swap","offer_id":49021324886243,"sku":null,"price":580.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Labe \/ Polycarbonate (PC) \/ Solder","offer_id":49021324919011,"sku":null,"price":575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Labe \/ Polycarbonate (PC) \/ Hot-swap","offer_id":49021324951779,"sku":null,"price":580.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Labe \/ Aluminum (ALU) \/ Solder","offer_id":49021325050083,"sku":null,"price":575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alta Labe \/ Aluminum (ALU) \/ Hot-swap","offer_id":49021325082851,"sku":null,"price":580.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0477\/3396\/4953\/files\/alta-labe-1.jpg?v=1779902147","url":"https:\/\/mech.land\/products\/metanoia-group-buy","provider":"Mech.land","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
