The Preonic Rev 4 is the newest evolution of Jack Humbert's iconic ortholinear keyboard design. Taking the original Planck concept and giving it a bit more breathing room, the Preonic adds a dedicated number row while preserving the compact, grid-based layout that made the original a favorite. The kit combines a CNC-machined case with a ground-up PCB redesign featuring per-key RGB lighting, integrated underglow, expanded encoder support, an RP2040 microcontroller, and full QMK compatibility.

Is the screw position changed from the v3? I’d love to be able to swap it into the case for my current Preonic.

Any chance the keycaps will be available for standalone purchase?

I saw them talking about this a few days ago, but it must not have made its way back here. Sorry about that.

Jack said, “Yeah the main PCB is compatible with previous case versions, but the RGB board won’t be”

The RGB board being the translucent/frosted layer for the diffuse edge lighting I believe.

That’s awesome. Is there an ETA on this project? Or will we have to wait till the Holiday season?

Pretty sure they’re just working on final details so it should be quite soon.
