Sale price€329,00 EUR

Tax included. Shipping from €3.90, free from €70.

Do.25 and Doo are the first personal project by ises (Vida): a 70% barebone kit styled after the old WYSE terminal keyboards, with an aluminium case, top mount, a 6.5° typing angle and two steel internal weights.

You pick the layout: Do.25 with rows evenly staggered by 0.25u and a 1u backspace, or Doo in the classic Digital layout with its 2u “Do” key. Then choose case colour, top strip, USB port accent, PCB (solder, hot-swap or EC) and plate – switches, keycaps and stabilisers are not included.

Do.25 & Doo – two layouts in a WYSE-style case

A 70% kit with top mount and an aluminium case, drawn after the WYSE terminal keyboards. The same case design comes in two layouts: the Do.25 with evenly staggered rows and the Doo in the classic Digital layout.

01 · Do.25 layout

Even stagger, 1u backspace

On a regular keyboard the rows are staggered by different amounts – 0.5u, 0.25u and 0.5u between the number, Q, A and Z rows. The Do.25 offsets the number and alpha rows by a uniform 0.25u.

That leaves room for a 1u backspace top right, moved slightly inwards – if you come from an HHKB, it sits right where you expect it. Left shift 1.75u, right shift 2.25u, left ctrl 1u. Every key size is covered by the base kits of common large keycap sets.

02 · Doo layout

The WYSE's Digital layout

The original WYSE uses the Digital layout – the ancestor of the three-block arrangement with inverted-T arrow keys. The Doo keeps that structure without the numpad, including the distinctive 2u “Do” key the board is named after. It also supports a 2.5u stepped ctrl, as found in the spacebar row of the full-size WYSE.

The Doo comes in coated grey with a solder PCB and an aluminium plate.

03 · Case

Lines instead of decoration

Without a numpad and with staggered rows, the case gets large empty areas. Instead of filling them with ornaments, clean lines structure the case: left of the offset number and Z rows the surface is lowered, so the stagger shows on the case too. Top right, a separated section acts as a subtle accent.

The engraved lines on the sides and bottom edge are placed so the outer border matches the thickness of the top and bottom case. The top strip carries its own engraving.

04 · Top strip

An accent above the number row

The brass top strip is included. For an extra charge you can have it in milled stainless steel with a black, gold or silver PVD coating.

05 · USB port

An accent at the connector

The USB-C connector sits in its own insert, with a line that runs on to the back. Clear PC, brass and stainless steel come at no extra charge, plus milled stainless steel with PVD coating and titanium.

06 · Internal weights

Two raw steel weights

Inside the case sit two internal weights in untreated steel. Four small, evenly spaced knife-cut patterns on top are a nod to the WYSE logo.

The kit weighs around 2.6 kg, fully built it's about 3.1 kg.

07 · PCB

Solder, hot-swap or EC

All PCBs are 1.6 mm thick. The solder PCB is included; for the Do.25 there's a hot-swap PCB (no ISO) and an EC PCB for electrostatic capacitive switches at an extra charge. The Doo comes with the solder PCB.

11 · Who is it for?

Who are the Do.25 and Doo for?

For layout explorers

You want to try a layout that's different without buying special keycaps – the Do.25 works with the sizes in regular base kits.

For retro fans

You like the terminal keyboards of the '80s but want a modern build with top mount, a heavy aluminium case and hot-swap or EC.

Do.25 and Doo are barebone kits: you'll need switches, keycaps and stabilisers – find matching ones under stabilisers. More kits are in our mechanical keyboards.
