Know before you buy
The Boop Redux offers two distinct mounting options: a Silicone socks gasket mount for a softer, more flexible typing feel, and a Top mount configuration for a firmer, more consistent typing experience.
No, the Boop Redux features a hot-swap PCB, which allows you to plug in your mechanical switches directly without the need for soldering.
Yes, the PCB is fully compatible with VIA and QMK firmware, giving you complete control over key remapping, layers, and macros.
The daughterboard separates the USB-C port from the main PCB, which helps protect the board from damage during cable insertion and provides a more reliable connection.
The Aluminum plate provides a stiff, crisp typing feel; the FR4 plate offers a balanced, slightly flexible experience; and the Polycarbonate plate is the most flexible, resulting in a softer, more cushioned keystroke.
The keyboard is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux via its standard USB-C wired connection.
