Specially Engineered Comfort

Building upon previous development with Equinox, Parallax uses a gasket sandwich PCB mount for thorough typing comfort.
For those who prefer builds with a plate, the open-sourced plate file can convert the design to a traditional top mount.

A Layout Adapted For Today And Tomorrow

With 34 function keys and up to 9 arrow keys, Parallax allows for unparalleled direct input and macros while having fewer keys than a typical 108 key keyboard. Modular blockers allow switching the right cluster between full, unsaver, and TKL modes.
