Subtle design. Radical performance. Two worlds – one standard.

The Typface Kafka is a 65% keyboard that combines uncompromising engineering with an exceptionally clean design language. It is available either as an MX barebone for classic mechanical builds or as a fully assembled Hall‑Effect variant for maximum speed and precision.
