📄 Product Description
Pixel67 – Retro Aesthetics Meets Modern Custom Engineering
The Pixel67 is a retro-inspired 67% keyboard that combines the nostalgic industrial design of classic IBM and Apple keyboards with the features of a modern custom board. Designed by Pixtendo Lab – a Japanese keyboard enthusiast currently based in Silicon Valley – and refined over an eight-month development cycle in collaboration with Keykobo, it delivers a typing experience that feels familiar, refined and practical.
Pogo-Pin Gasket Mount
Instead of conventional beryllium-copper leaf springs, the Pixel67 uses a Pogo-Pin-based gasket mount system. The pogo pins are evenly placed around the plate and compress with nearly identical force, creating a consistent, controlled rebound across the entire board.
Unlike traditional leaf-spring designs, whose stiffness can vary from region to region, this structure reduces uneven support between different plate zones. The result is a balanced, stable typing feel with clean feedback. Because there are no foam or gasket structures to fatigue, the behaviour stays consistent even after years of use.
Internal Brass Weight
Inside sits a substantial brass weight that serves both structural and acoustic purposes. It brings the total built weight (with switches and keycaps installed) to approximately 2.87 kg and gives the keyboard a solid, stable presence on the desk.
The added mass fills internal volume, increases density and dampens unwanted resonance. Hollow sounds and case ping are reduced, resulting in a deeper, cleaner and more controlled sound profile – even in foamless builds.
Ergonomic Front Design
The front of the case was deliberately extended toward the user, forming a subtle palm-support area without breaking the retro design. The lowered front lip follows the natural position of the hands and wrists, reducing strain during long typing sessions and usually making a separate wrist rest unnecessary.
Based on a survey of 50 custom keyboard enthusiasts, a 6° typing angle was chosen as the optimal balance between comfort, support and typing performance. The front height is 15.7 mm, the rear height 34.8 mm.
Tri-Mode Connectivity, VIA & QMK
The Tri-Mode hot-swap PCB supports three connection types: wired via USB-C, Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless. The battery is already integrated into the tri-mode PCB. Thanks to hot-swap, switches can be changed without soldering.
The Pixel67 fully supports both VIA and QMK. You can remap keys, create custom layers and macros, and tailor the layout to your personal workflow – for productivity, gaming or specialised applications, without complicated software.
Layout Compatibility
For maximum build flexibility, the Pixel67 supports several commonly used layout options, adapting to different keycap sets and user preferences:
- Split Backspace
- Split Left Shift
- Stepped Caps Lock
- ANSI Enter
- Multiple bottom-row options
This keeps the 67% layout clean and practical without sacrificing customisation.
HMX PIX Switches – for the Fully Assembled Builds
The fully assembled variants come with a choice of three PIX switches made by HMX – all linear, each with a different actuation and bottom-out character:
- PIX Cloud: linear, 37 ± 5 gF operating force, 3.5 ± 0.3 mm total travel, Modified LY stem, PA12 top housing, PA-2 bottom housing, 22 mm spring
- PIX Stone: linear, 45 ± 5 gF operating force, 3.5 ± 0.3 mm total travel, Modified LY stem, PA12 top housing, PA-2 bottom housing, 22 mm spring
- PIX Moss: linear, 43 ± 5 gF operating force, 3.5 ± 0.3 mm total travel, UPE-blend stem, PA12 top housing, PA66 bottom housing, 22 mm spring
Attention to Detail: Bottom, Dino Badge & Colors
The underside continues the restrained, clean visual language of the Pixel67. Instead of excessive decoration, the surface is kept intentionally minimal, with precise structural lines and a few carefully placed details. Functional, slightly raised foot channels add subtle depth to the bottom.
A special highlight is the Pixel Dino badge: inspired by the little dinosaur from a browser's offline / "no connection" page – a small piece of early internet nostalgia. The mirror-polished dino motif contrasts with the matte engraved background.
The Pixel67 is available in four colors: System Silver, Classic Beige, Terminal Green and Vintage Brown.
Variants: Barebone & Fully Assembled
The Pixel67 is available in three configurations, each in all four colors:
- Barebone – the complete kit without switches and keycaps, ideal for a custom build
- Fully Assembled ANSI QWERTY – built and ready with US ANSI QWERTY keycaps
- Fully Assembled ISO-DE QWERTZ – built and ready with German ISO QWERTZ keycaps
The fully assembled variants ship with your choice of PIX switches, tuned stabilizers and Keykobo double-shot ABS keycaps in the matching layout.
Who is the Pixel67 for?
The Pixel67 is for anyone who loves the charm of classic computer hardware and wants to combine it with modern engineering. Thanks to the consistent pogo-pin mount, the calm sound profile and the comfortable 6° angle, it suits long everyday typing sessions as well as gaming.
With both barebone and fully assembled options, it works for newcomers looking for a ready-to-use keyboard out of the box, as well as for experienced enthusiasts who want to build their setup from the ground up.
Note: The Barebone variant is a barebone kit – switches and keycaps are not included and are available separately. The Fully Assembled variants (ANSI QWERTY / ISO-DE QWERTZ), by contrast, ship ready to use including switches and keycaps.
