Design & Inspiration
Create the things you wish existed
Simple 75 is a premium gasket-mount mechanical keyboard that features a compact 75% layout, advanced PCB options, and a programmable volume wheel.
Inspiration
Our inspiration came from the overly complicated world of keyboards.
We noticed how confusing it can be, and we felt things could be much simpler.
That’s why we created Simple 75, and focused on making every part of the process as easy as possible, from introducing you to the board to the assembly process and daily use.
We didn’t aim for a flashy design, but rather something practical and straightforward for everyone to enjoy.
Volume Wheel
Effortless Adjustment at Your Fingertips

Useful Applications
Brightness Control
Control brightness is easily with the volume wheel. Also can be used to control keyboard RGB lighting.
Media Control
Control brightness is easily with the volume wheel.
Also can be used to control.
Button
It seems like the keyboard has all it needs, but we knew we could add a little extra.
Inspired by the design of a computer mouse scroll wheel, we made our volume wheel pressable for additional functionality.
Easy to press, fully programmable, and features a “Tap Dance” option, allowing you to set up multiple commands with a single button:
- Tap
- Hold
- Double Tap
- Tap + Hold

Volume Adjustment
Custom keyboards are awesome, but they can always be a little better, right? We believe your keyboard should feel like an extension of you—practical, intuitive, and easy to use.
Our programmable Volume Wheel lets you control more than just volume. Adjust brightness, zoom, and other settings with ease. With the smooth tactile feedback of the Gold TTC Encoder, every turn feels just right.
Made from the same durable Aluminum 6061 as the case, Available in three anodized color options: Silver, White, and Black.

Mounting System
For an effortless assembly, we designed simple slide-in rubber gaskets.
Six gaskets are placed around the keyboard to deliver a smooth, balanced typing experience with just the right amount of flex.
(60A hardness)
Acoustics Foams
Foams are used to enhance the keyboard's acoustics by minimizing unwanted hollowness and metallic sounds.
It helps eliminate high-pitched noise, creating a more solid, 'marbly' typing sound.
You can customize the foam combination to achieve the sound profile that suits your preferences.
Included with the keyboard:
- Plate Foam
- PE Foam (for PCB)
- Case Foam
Quick Stabilizer Swap
Tired of having to remove all your switches just to swap out the stabilizers?
We know the struggle..
That's why the Simple 75 Plates are designed to let you replace stabilizers at any time without the hassle.
Whether you're fine-tuning your setup or upgrading for a better feel, you can now make adjustments without the extra steps.
Enjoy quick, effortless stabilizer swaps whenever you need.
Force Break Pads
Force Break Pads, like other foams, are designed to improve the acoustics of the keyboard.
Inspired by the well-known “Force Break Mod,” these pads reduce vibrations by softening the contact between metal components, resulting in a quieter, more refined typing experience.
The pads come pre-applied at seven key points around the keyboard for optimal performance right out of the box.
Plates
Plates are essential for shaping the sound and feel of your keyboard.
Our range of plate materials includes both softer and stiffer options, allowing you to tailor your keyboard to your preferences.
Choose from various materials to adjust the typing experience to exactly how you like it.
With our selection, you can customize your setup to make it uniquely yours.
Plate materials:
- Aluminum
- Polycarbonate
- POM
- Brass
- FR4
PCB & Layout
Custom keyboards are all about preference.
That’s why you create the layout that works best for you!
✦
Hot-Swap & Solder Hybrid
We all appreciate different keyboard layouts, but hand-soldering every key can be a hassle.
And if you want to switch out your keys later? That means de-soldering every switch and starting over..
To make this easier, we've taken a simpler approach.
Instead of spending hours soldering every key, you only need to solder a few, allowing you to quickly create the perfect layout for your needs without the extra effort.
Layout Options:
- ISO Enter
- Stepped Caps (w/ Caps LED Indicator)
- 7U Spacebar
- x2 3U Spacebar
- 1.5U Alt, Fn
✦
Hot-Swap
The Hot-Swap version is perfect for beginners.
If you're just getting started in the hobby or like the idea of 'plug and play,' this PCB option is for you.
It features a standard layout that’s compatible with most keycap sets on the market, along with beautiful, fully customizable per-key RGB lighting.
