SW Eave65 Plus Keyboard Kit
After launching the Transition Lite last year, we wanted to create a keyboard that’s compact, easy to get used to, and affordable — something that works well for all kinds of users. That idea led us to the 65% layout: a smaller version of the standard keyboard that keeps the arrow keys and just the essential functions.
Design
"Eave" comes from architecture — it means the edge of a roof that sticks out. Inspired by that, we added smooth, curved lines to the sides of the keyboard to make it look more dynamic and easier to grab and carry. Eave65 also comes with built-in underglow lighting, giving off a soft RGB glow that looks clean, even with a transparent case. It works right away with the VIA software, so you can change lighting effects without any extra setup.
Structure
PCB, plate, and foam kit are included by default, so you can build it the way you like — whether you prefer a softer sound with foam or a more raw feel without it. The 1.2mm PCB keeps things sturdy while still sounding great. And if you want a heavier build, we’ve made room inside for an optional internal weight, which will be available separately later on
Layout
Included in the kit:
- Keyboard

- Hotswap PCB
- Foam (Case (non-adhesive), Plate, PE Sheet)

Note: Eave65 Plus includes a silicone weight, and the adhesive on the bottom foam has been removed. The daughterboard has also been partially improved to reduce assembly difficulties.
