Petrichor by AKB
Petrichor by AKB is an F-rowless 1800 keyboard that was designed with simplicity and usability in mind. The combination of the all purpose layout and integrated USB passthrough make this keyboard an ideal workhorse.
The goal of petrichor is not to reinvent the wheel, but rather build upon what AKB knows works. Simple, well implemented gasket mounting, and a restrained design that still captures its own identity.

Quality and Render/ Photo Disclaimer
A Stock units should not have any external scratches or egregious marks seen when built. Any internal flaws and marks (including hook marks) that are not seen when built do not constitute a B Stock unit.
Screw holes are not fully anodized or coated, and small marks near the hole opening might be present.
We try to use as many real pictures as we can to represent the keyboard as best as possible, however to supplement these photos we use renders occasionally. These renders may vary slightly compared to the final product.
Colours in the final product may vary since renders are done under idealistic artificial lighting.
When raw or thinly coated, brass will oxidize and patina naturally. Small blemishes and discolorations may be visible.
Disclaimers
Kindly note that images may be of 3D renders and are for illustration purposes only. The final colours may differ slightly under different lighting.
Only the products detailed in the description are included. Other products are shown for demonstrative purposes only and are not included. Please check Keyset kitting images carefully for included keys. Please check Keyboard layout options carefully to ensure it meets your requirements.
