Visible Evolution
The proven tabbed-gasket PCB mount structure from the original Equinox remains, offering an unusual yet comfortable typing feel designed primarily for plateless use. Equinox XL has been updated from the original with a seamless design and internal screws, making the exterior clean and sleek from any angle.
From the Desk to the World
The compact yet functional 50% key layout of the Equinox XL allows for easy migration from larger layouts while also ensuring compatibility with many keysets. An internal brass weight balances the board’s mass - just light enough for portability, and just heavy enough for stability during use.
Tailored to the Occasion
Choose between winkey and winkeyless variants to choose between maximum functionality and a classic aesthetic.
The PCB allows for 3U-1U-3U split spacebar to extend productivity further without sacrificing the symmetrical aesthetic.
