Chalice is a 40% Alice-like keyboard with a price tag around USD$360 and we are gathering interests on the demand at the moment. Sale details will be announced later on this page once confirmed.
While we keep working on innovative designs with popular layouts , we always have this idea about bringing up small-factor gadgets. However, layouts under 60 is quite niche in this niche community so we were not brave enough to step up.
Luckily, our designer friend Maicha introduced us to his personal project - Chalice, which had already become a successful group buy in China. Between our in-house projects, we decided to introduce this interesting little one to the international market as well.

The layout is inspired by Curva, another 40% keyboard that is convenient in daily use despite the small size. Symmetry is the key of Chalice's design. Maicha also adjusted the layout to ensure you don't need to buy the 40 keycaps kit for Cherry profile if you have double 3U spacebars. Customized 3U wires will be provided as gifts.
Maicha made all four sides of Chalice seamless and hid the screws inside the case to implement the minimalist design. The bottom case is a piece of Stainless Steel with a decorative titanium beam on the internal surface. Like the Spring, Chalice also has a stylized signature on the rear side of the weight as decoration. The PVD-coated weight is matte on the rear and sides, while the bottom is glossy.
