Group Buys
Derivative EC Kit (2026)
The Derivative EC kit is coming back via group buy in November, 2026.
Blue Ridge V2
Blue Ridge is also making a return in the end of November, 2026 via group buy. This time, the board will be available in both polycarbonate and aluminum case options, with many notable improvements including but not limited to:
- Updated hybrid (EC/MX) PCB architecture to be less sensitive to spring location, more reliable, and with more features
- Refreshed case design, particularly around the sides and back
- Pogo DB support
- Injection molded, transparent ABS EC integrated plate
Kohaku EC Kit
After several years of teasing, the Kohaku EC kit is finally coming to group buy this December, 2026. A standard laser-cut plate is not an option for this board given the mounting locations conflicting with EC housings. As such, the plate will be milled out of solid block of POM or ABS (TBD), with EC housings integrated. Kit options will support an array of full backspace, split backspace, blocker, and blockerless layouts. A PCB, designed by Cipulot, will be available with the kit as well. Pricing TBD.
