Niuniu keyboards: KB40 and Wind Borne60

Niuniu stands for two boards with distinctive shapes here: the 40% keyboard KB40 and the 60% keyboard Wind Borne60. Both are barebone kits.

Niuniu KB40: 40% with five layouts

The KB40 comes in two staggered and three ortholinear layouts. Staggered means offset rows like a regular keyboard; ortholinear is a straight grid. The case is CNC aluminium with a Cerakote finish in six colours plus a random Cerakote colour variant. The keyboard is gasket-mounted and has an integrated bottom weight with a battery compartment. You choose between a wired MX hot-swap PCB and a wireless hot-swap PCB for MX and EC switches. Foam kit and dongle are separate. More on compact boards under 40% keyboards.

Niuniu Wind Borne60: top mount with MX or EC

The Wind Borne60 is Niuniu's 60% board with gently inward-curving lines, a recessed spacebar and a rear weight with a "Wind" logo. It's available as an MX version (solder or hot-swap) or as an EC version for electro-capacitive switches, wired or tri-mode. The WK, WKL and HHKB layouts are VIAL compatible. Switches, keycaps and stabilizers are separate. You can see the current pre-order status on the product page and in the project updates; more on 60% keyboards is in the matching collection.
