Vida - A 60% Keyboard by James from AKB

VIDA is the culmination of several rounds of prototypes and community feedback, and we cannot wait to get it into your hands. The top and bottom case assembly is screwless via magnets and we are offering a ZMK powered wireless option.

 

Vida Blackout Edition Exclusive for Launch Day

Launching immediately on Black Friday, the BLACKOUT edition offers sleek looks and insane value. A fully blacked out case, starting at only £181, and available for only 24 hours.

 

Addons Available Here

Extra Top Case Available Here

 

Mounting Style:

VIDA uses a unique version of bottom mount that utilises poron dampeners and nylon alignment pins. The plate screws into the bottom case, and the top case is connected to the bottom through integrated magnets that are automatically aligned thanks to the alignment pins.


    Wireless Enabled

    VIDA is designed with wireless in mind. Opt for the wireless kit to receive a ZMK powered PCB and battery that slots into the bottom case. Alternatively, you can choose a standard wired PCB. To learn more about ZMK, check out our recent blogpost.


    Elegantly Designed

    VIDA combines form and function with it's stunning side profile, and seamlessly integrated USB hub. When wired, you can connect USB devices to save some desk space and reduce clutter.
