**Discover the Rechteck, A Compact BLE 60% Layout Custom Mechanical Keyboard**

Boardsource proudly presents the Rechteck, a cutting-edge wireless custom mechanical keyboard that redefines typing excellence. As one of the first keyboards of its kind, the Rechteck is meticulously engineered to deliver a superior typing experience and the most compact form factor possible for a 60% keyboard. 

**Key Features:**

- **Compact 60% Layout**: Enjoy a sleek and space-efficient 60% layout that retains all essential keys while reducing desk clutter and being an amazing 'on the go' board. The Rechteck measures just 274mm x 91mm (~ 10.75" x 3.5") , making it one of the most compact 60% keyboards available.

- **Custom Mechanical Design**: The Rechteck features a bespoke design, including a custom BLE PCB, aluminum case, sound dampening foam, and even a uniquely crafted battery maximizing battery life. Rechkteck boasts a 3-4 week battery life.

- **Choc V1 Switches**: Experience the precision and smoothness of Choc V1 switches. The tighter key grouping noticeably reduces finger movement, enhancing typing speed and comfort. We recommend ultralight linear switches for use on the Rechkteck - 25g or 35g. Choc-spaced keys offer a great 'flow-state' when you get going, an ergonomic benefit people can benefit from who do not wish to make the jump to a split keyboard.

- **Bluetooth Connectivity & ZMK Firmware**: The Rechteck is powered by ZMK firmware, offering seamless Bluetooth connectivity. Switch between devices effortlessly and enjoy a wireless typing experience. 

- **Ultra-Thin Profile**: At only 19mm from the top of the keycap to the desk, the Rechteck is significantly thinner than other 60% keyboards. Rechteck's slim design offers a sleek and modern aesthetic on the desk and makes it very easy to take on the go.

- **Optional Tilting Legs**: Customize your typing angle with optional tilting legs. These tenting legs (compatible with Boardsource's Booster System) can be installed in in two configurations on the Rechkteck. Installed in the two rear locations, the board tilts to ~ 5°, users may also install the legs in the front positions, allowing for a ~ 5° forward/reverse tilt.

Elevate your typing game with the Rechteck, the pinnacle of custom mechanical keyboards. Whether you're a software developer, gamer, or enthusiast, the Rechteck offers an exceptional blend of style, functionality, and innovation.

Technikable is the first wireless PCB offered by Boardsource and is produced in collaboration with Pete Johanson, the creator of the popular ZMK firmware powering most of the hobbyist community's wireless technology. Compatible with the Technik line of cases, the Technikable PCB offers users who desire it a way to finally drop the cables, adding to the already sleek, unobtrusive and travel-friendly design of the Technik line.

Technikable is SMT assembled, offering users a completely solder-free experience out of the box, battery connection is done via JST ACH connector (lower profile than the commonly used JST PH connector) and is pre-soldered to both the PCB and battery leads. No soldering is required.

All Technikable PCBs include a compatible battery.

## **Similarities to the Technik PCB:**
- Fits and functions in all Technik cases
- Hotswap 



##  **Differences Compared to the Technik PCB:**
- Outermost keys on the lowest row are removed to allow space for battery/wireless controller, copper fill is also removed from these areas
- No under glow or per-key LEDs
- Additional configuration options on the thumb cluster, allows users to configure between (2) 1U, (1) 2U, or (2) 2U (refer to layout diagram)
- Cutout on topside of plate for the power switch


## **NEW v1.1 PCB Update:**
- On off switch has been changed to a soft on off button.


Technikable

The Technik is a beautifully minimal and versatile 40% low profile keyboard with extensive customization options. Engineered with all types of users in mind, the case is compatible with two layouts, both ortholinear and staggered.

No matter your typing preference, there is a Technik configuration that will exceed your needs and allow you to benefit from the decreased switch travel and lower typing angle Choc keyboards offer. You may choose between two PCBs (ortholinear or staggered) compatible with any of the universal Technik 40% cases. If you'd still like access to dedicated number buttons or additional macro keys, the accompanying Beiwagon may be added to any kit in any matching color (or contrasting color if that's your thing) and is available separately.

The Technik line's PCB (PCB-A) are a future-proof 40% PCB compatible with QMK. All of the product's SMT PCBs include addressable per-key RGB, bright underglow, and USB-C, while still being fully hotswap (Kailh Choc - PCB does not support solder-in). 

Whether you want a light and compact travel keyboard or a refined implementation of your favorite layout, the Technik line and Beiwagon will ensure that you are satisfied each time you sit at your desk to work, or unpack your bag while on the move.

NOTE: The new plates that are listed in the Configurator for this product are designed to fit with the new iteration of the PCB. If you already have a Technik case but are purchasing a new PCB you will need to add-on one of the new plates to make it work with your case. Remember, PCBs do not come with plates, only cases come with plates by default.
