[GB] Petrichor

AED 845.00 – AED 899.00

GB to run from Friday, 14th June to Monday, 15th July. Estimate shipping Q1 2025.

Petrichor by AKB is an F-rowless 1800 keyboard that was designed with simplicity and usability in mind. The combination of the all purpose layout and integrated USB passthrough make this keyboard an ideal workhorse.

The goal of petrichor is not to reinvent the wheel, but rather build upon what AKB knows works. Simple, well implemented gasket mounting, and a restrained design that still captures its own identity.

I have owned a prototype of this for almost 3 years – it is hands down my favorite board of all time. Now, you get the chance to pick one up. You will not regret it!
