Blue Ridge
A silicone tab mounted HHKB designed by Clever Keebs
Meet the Blue Ridge — a custom keyboard designed from the ground up for fans of the HHKB layout and the signature EC feel. But this isn’t just another aftermarket kit. It’s the first board to feature a production hybrid PCB that supports both EC and MX hotswap switches with the same PCB. It's also the first keyboard that supports EC with zero MX keycap interference.
Inspired by the rolling hills and peaceful tones of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this board blends thoughtful design with modern engineering. From the soft curves of the sandblasted polycarbonate case to the friction-fit mounting system that makes assembly smooth and satisfying, every detail is dialed in to give you a uniquely refined build and typing experience.
- Blue Ridge case (sandblasted polycarbonate)
- EC or MX plate of your choice
- Hybrid PCB with RGB + VIA support (with daughterboard + jst cable)
- Silicone friction-fit tabs (soft and firm)
- Press-fit silicone feet
