Weikav Max102 Aluminium Barebone
Weikav 102max (also known as Max102) in the Barebone version is one of the most interesting bases on the market for people looking for a luxurious, heavy "piece of metal" with a full numeric pad, but in a modern form. Support for QMK/VIA places it in the segment of professional custom keyboards.
Weikav 102max Alu Barebone Kit
This kit is the foundation for building a powerful, aluminum 96% keyboard. It combines raw CNC aesthetics with the most desired features for enthusiasts: full programmability and a flexible Gasket Mount system.
Key Advantages
-
Full Aluminum 6063 Construction: The entire casing is precisely machine-cut (CNC) from high-quality aluminum alloy. This translates into immense structural rigidity and a prestigious weight, ensuring the keyboard remains stable even during the most vigorous typing.
-
QMK/VIA Support: This is a crucial feature for professionals. You can freely reprogram every key, create layers, and advanced macros using the browser-based VIA configurator, without installing dubious drivers.
-
Gasket Mount System: The mounting plate is not rigidly screwed to the casing but rests on gaskets. This provides a characteristic "flex" and makes typing softer and less fatiguing for the fingers.
-
102-Key Layout (Compact Full-Size): You get a numeric pad (Numpad) and arrow keys, but in a casing not much wider than standard TKL keyboards.
