Why a group buy at all

The boards worth owning never reach this country

We spent two years importing keyboards.

01

Six months

Half of it in a warehouse.

02

Duty

A hobby becomes a decision.

03

Nobody will machine forty cases

Job shops quote at five hundred.

Our answer

So we did the boring part ourselves.

What a run buys you

Six things a sealed pre-built will not do

B01

Hot-swap

Five-pin sockets under every key.

B02

Gasket mount

The plate floats on twelve pads.

B03

Five damping layers

Chosen by eight testers.

B04

Milled here

A fix takes a week, not a container.

B05

Remappable in a browser

The layout lives on the board.

B06

One price for everyone

No three-in-the-morning tier.

The 75, layer by layer

Eight layers, twelve screws, one stack

Every layer changes how the board sounds.

Unit 6The mill that said yes

Who is making it

Two people, one mill, and twenty minutes of traffic

Nikhil ran the evening shift at a job shop in Bhosari.

The shop that finally said yes is Unit 6.

  • Cases milled twenty minutes from the bench
  • Every board typed on before it is boxed
  • A public build log every Friday
  • Spares sold on their own for years
