    Design Philosophy

    • Inspired by vintage boards the J-series was an opportunity to bring old school features, such as pen rails, to modern boards
    • The design is reminiscent of early manufacturing where items were made in layers, and with strong defining features. 
    • From earlier rounds (back in 2017!!) the external view remains very similar (with some minor visual tweaks), but the internals were designed to allow sound to propagate through the acoustic cavity. Every part of the board has been re-designed from the ground up to finally allow us to fit the original vision.
    • Designed originally with Gateron Inks in mind for the CF plate, the current iteration works will with most linears, and for long pole linears or tactiles the POM plate is recommended.
    • Clickys are banned.

    Thanks

    • Our team at PT for working to make this a reality - Josh for the design, Sharon for managing production, Mel and Leo for prepping for QC and packing and shipping of these once they are ready!
    • Tim for the amazing photography of the prototype.
    • Everyone involved in earlier rounds of the older versions - without those foundations I would never have pursued this.
