Hey everyone! We are beyond excited to launch the new CSTM80 keyboard today! CSTM80 is in-stock and ready to ship—no wait to try it out. We also offer no-hassle returns if you are unsatisfied with the board for any reason.
I recommend checking out the Studio Stories for CSTM80 if you haven't already and are interested in the development process and learning a bit more about features/design.

Lastly, BadSeedTech just released a video detailing his thoughts and impressions (along with his own sound tests of various configurations).

Let us know any questions you might have in the comments and we'll do our best to answer! :)
kYzzoWe plan/hope to release all of the popular form factors, yes. The next one to launch will be CSTM65, which should be in early 2024. After that, both 75% and 1800 would be in contention for the next layout (not set in stone yet).
How do you flash the CSTM 80 keyboard with via/vial on linux? The product page advertises linux support, and yet there doesn't seem to be a single way to customize the CSTM 80 keyboard on linux
caiquepegurierNão mas você pode remapear as teclas e colocar os acentos, cedilha e outros símbolos aonde quiser. O teclado é programável e usá-lo para digitar em português não é um problema.
Remember to either hit - FN + Left Ctrl + O to swap all the OS hotkey locations to match MacOS or use our keyboard configurator and choose the Mac layout. This way the keyboard will match exactly how the Mac keyboard works.
i naturally assumed this was all aluminum until i saw that aluminum top was dramatically more... and noticed the other tops were plastic.
is this entire case plastic??????????
right... adding a weight, to a plastic keyboard. a plastic board that slides together, and flexes and creaks under stress and torque.
then the matter of it being plastic... and costing $99 for a barebone board without a shell.
Will the front legend shine through keycaps be available on their own? They look amazing and if they're anything like the skylight series keycaps I'd swap out the caps on my Drop CTRL.
Astro143My understanding is that we are working on making the keycaps available separately, but note that the shinethrough won't work well on your CTRL because the CTRL has the LEDs on the north side of the switch while the shinethrough on these keycaps are on the south side of the switch.
