Ikki68 Aurora R2 Collab Editions

• Aurora x Winter Breath
• Aurora x Zen Pond (E-white aluminum top case)

Aurora Snow

This colorway comes with an E-white Aluminum top case while all the other colorways come with a Polycarbonate top case. That’s the reason it costs more than the others.

Aurora Pink

This colorway comes with an e-white badge, as opposed to the gold badge shown in the renders. It may or may not have an additional gold badge in the box. 

Aurora x Winter Breath

The first two pictures of Aurora x Winter Breath on this page are actual photographs in daylight conditions. The third picture is a render which is meant to show the design at the back. The design glows in the dark

For a limited time get 25% off EPBT Winter Breath base kit when purchased with an Aurora x Winter Breath keyboard kit. Discount will be applied automatically during checkout.

Battery for Bluetooth Editions

A standard sized, widely available LiPo battery is required for Bluetooth editions but it’s not included with the kit. You can purchase the battery in the add-ons page or source it on your own.

Stabilizers

Aurora R2 default PCBs Bodo and Iceland are 1.2mm thick. They are compatible with only 1.2mm stabilizers or 1.6mm stabilizers with spacers.

Standard Editions of Aurora R2 do not come with any stabilizers

Collab Editions (x Winter Breath and x Zen Pond) come with color matched 6+1u stabilizers. 

Sound & Flex Test:

Aurora R2 Highlights

• Variable gasket mount structure. Remove some or all of the gasket chips to change from firm to bouncy. Both Silicone and Poron gaskets are included to fine tune the experience even further!
• Default PCB (05 – Bodo) for wired version is a hot-swap PCB that supports multiple layouts! This is a very unique feature that lets you use any or all of split L Shift, split R Shift, split Backspace, stepped Caps Lock and ISO Enter, anytime you want. No soldering necessary! Default PCB (06 Iceland) for Wireless version is a Blue Tooth/VIA hotswap that supports splits like Bodo, except space bar. For all PCB specifications, please check PCB table here.
• Default Silicone dampener kits and add-on poron dampener kit can provide different typing feel and sound, so you can test and choose the one you like most.
• The badges are hot-swappable, meaning you can change them without taking apart the case! Additional badges are sold separately
• Personalize your Aurora even further with the use of Logo Chips! The little cutout above the right Arrow Key has LEDs underneath. Cut your own design onto a piece of thick paper and put over the hole to see the light shine through. You can even 3D print plastic chips, laser cut other materials as well. The Aurora will come with one Wuque Studio branded chip, and a blank chip to cover the cutout in case you do not want to use it.

Disclaimer

1. The Ikki68 Aurora is DIY, enthusiast product. It is not terribly complicated to assemble, but some basic tool skills such as managing torque with a screwdriver, and some basic keyboard building skills such as how to install stabilizers, hot-swap switches are required. You will not be required to solder anything.
2. Reading and following the build guide is essential, especially if it’s your first time building. Please make sure you are aware of this before building Aurora.
