"This is my favorite 60% that I have typed on, to date. I've typed on an OTD Mini, I've typed on a Unikorn, I've typed on various Duck boards, I've typed on a Keycult... Anyway, this is, for me, a fantastic 60%." - Blacksimon, in his Augur Review

Design Philosophy

Augur is a 60% keyboard which brings premium elements to a less-premium price. Augur features isolation gasket mounting and leaf spring plates. Minimalistic front and sides give way to a striking backside and an elegant bottom. Augur uses a Type-C daughterboard to remain immobile while the plate and PCB flex. While the plate is strictly 7u for cleaner acoustics, the PCB supports both 6.25u and 7u layouts. Augur is held together by case screws of two different lengths, so that the screw heads are equidistant from the bottom of the case.
