Business Transparency: How we operate?

As a small UK business, we handle every order ourselves — no drop shipping involved. Every item we send out goes through a quality control check to make sure you receive exactly what you ordered and in the condition you’d expect.

Some of our products are sourced from local UK suppliers, while others come directly from manufacturers we trust. The dispatch times for each item are clearly shown on the product listing, so you’ll always know whether it’s available for same-day dispatch or if it needs a little extra time before shipping.

We also pride ourselves on providing the best customer support possible. When you contact us, you’ll always be speaking directly to one of the three people who run this business — no automated bots, no outsourced call centres, just real help from people who know and love the products we sell.

The Nut65: Engineering Tri-Mode Freedom into Aluminum

The Nut65: Engineering Tri-Mode Freedom into Aluminum

Performance Without the Clutter

Your desktop demands performance, but it does not demand clutter. We curate components that solve specific problems while building toward an endgame feel. The Weikav Nut65 Barebone Kit answers the call for uncompromising flexibility, packaging tri-mode connectivity and true customization into a CNC-machined aluminum chassis.

This is not just another 65%. It is a platform designed to keep your workspace clean, support any typing preference, and handle marathon sessions without reaching for a charger.

Nut65 Design Overview

The Quick-Release Structure: Maintenance without the Headache

For enthusiasts who know their way around a build, maintenance should be simple. We get it. Sometimes what you ordered just doesn't work out, or perhaps you need to swap a plate for a different acoustic profile.

The Nut65 ditches the tedious screw-in assemblies common in high-end boards. Instead, it features a Quick-Release Structure utilizing a ball-catched model for effortless disassembly. You can open the case in seconds.

Working in harmony with each of the Nut65's connectivity modes—Wired via USB-C, 2.4-gigahertz wireless, and Bluetooth 5.0—the internal architecture is engineered for stability. The PCB connects to the daughterboard using 8-pin magnetic contact pins (pogo pins). This design increases anti-oxidation life and ensures connection stability, allowing you to open the case without worrying about snapping delicate cables.

Quick-Release Structure

A Dual Gasket System Built for Your Hands

The typing experience is where most keyboards draw their line in the sand. The Nut65 removes that line entirely.

Equipped with a full array of acoustic materials, and all of the extras you could ask for, this board is ready to deliver top-tier sound and feel right out of the box. The chassis uses Acoustic Dampening silicone strips added to the inner frame to cushion the top and bottom halves, reducing that harsh metal-on-metal contact and achieving a soft contact feel.

The flexibility extends to the mounting system itself. The Nut65 ships standard with a PCB-mounted gasket. But for those who prefer a different response, the kit includes plate-mounted gaskets as an add-on option. You decide the feel: select the PCB mount for a bouncier experience, or install the plate gaskets for a firmer, snappier keystroke.

This adaptability is complemented by a comprehensive five-layer dampening kit: Poron plate foam, IXPE switch foam, PET foam, a PET insulation pad, and high-density rebound foam.

Dual Gasket System

Visualizing Sound: The Rhythm-Reactive Light Bar

Your keyboard is an extension of you, and you deserve one that truly impresses. While the aluminum case handles the solid foundation, the front lip delivers dynamic flair.

The Nut65 features a four-segment RGB light strip at the front. This is more than just static lighting. It includes a built-in microphone so the lighting is rhythm-reactive, allowing it to dance dynamically to music or even your keystrokes. The spacebar itself receives five dedicated LEDs for even more vibrant color coverage.

The Nut65 answers the call for visual customization. It comes equipped with south-facing per-key RGB backlighting, allowing the installed keycaps to glow without interference.

Magnetic Pogo Pins. 8-pin magnetic contact connection between PCB and daughterboard ensures stable connectivity and anti-oxidation durability.

Connectivity and Customization

Tri-Mode Connectivity. Connect via USB-C, 2.4GHz wireless, or Bluetooth 5.0 (pairing up to five devices).

QMK/VIA Compatible. Full firmware support for key remapping, macros, backlighting control, and advanced customization.

Hall Effect Ready. Hot-swappable PCB supports both traditional mechanical switches and advanced Hall Effect magnetic switches.

Five-Layer Dampening. Comprehensive acoustic treatment includes Poron plate foam, IXPE switch foam, PET foam, insulation pad, and high-density rebound foam.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the quick-release structure special?

The ball-catch mechanism allows you to open the case without any screwdrivers or tools—simply pop it open in seconds. Combined with magnetic pogo pins instead of delicate cables, you can safely access the internals for modifications or repairs without risk of damage.

Can I choose between different mounting styles?

Yes! The Nut65 ships with PCB-mounted gaskets as standard, which provide a bouncier, more flexible typing feel. The kit also includes plate-mounted gaskets that you can install for a firmer, snappier response. You decide which mounting style suits your preference.

What are Hall Effect switches?

Hall Effect switches use magnetic actuation instead of traditional metal contacts. This allows for adjustable actuation points, faster response times, and virtually unlimited switch lifespan. The Nut65's PCB supports both traditional mechanical switches and Hall Effect switches, giving you maximum flexibility.

What's included in the barebone kit?

The kit includes the CNC aluminum case, hot-swappable PCB with daughterboard, FR4 plate, complete five-layer dampening foam set, stabilizers, 2.4GHz wireless dongle, RGB light bar, and both PCB and plate-mounted gaskets. You'll need to provide your own switches and keycaps to complete the build.
