[ 03 ] · Reasons

Four reasons to find us on the floor.

We bring more than a booth. Hear, type, and take home what you can't get online — and meet the people who built it.

01 · Hands-on

Every active board. Plugged in. Live.

Twelve boards across all series — TH, Galaxy, HE, RT, Luma, Epoch, Maker, Lab. Type. Swap. Listen. Walk away with a sample of every layout.

  • 12 active boards across 8 series
  • Hot-swap stations stocked with switches
  • Listening booth · isolated, headphone-fed
02 · Reveals

New switches. New silhouettes.

First-look hardware that hasn't shipped yet. Three switches debuting at the show — feel them before anyone reviews them.

03 · Trade-up

Bring an old keeb. Walk out with a new one.

Show-floor exclusive: trade in any working board and we'll knock 30% off any new TH or Galaxy series board. One per visitor.

04 · Talks

Daily talks. Three a day.

Hear from the people who design the switches, write the firmware, and tune the sound. Free seating, first-come.

Five headliners everyone will talk about.
