Practice65 v2

Learn to solder and build a custom keyboard on a budget

The Practice65 v2 is a keyboard kit that contains almost everything you need to build your own keyboard from scratch – just add switches, stabilizers, and keycaps, and you’ll be good to go! It’s meant to be a great starting point for beginners – this time in a 65% layout!

The Practice65 v2 is powered by an STM32 onboard MCU running QMK with VIA compatibility out of the box. The PCB included supports RGB underglow and per-key single color LED backlighting with south facing LEDs, but you’ll have to provide your own WS2812B strip or LEDs to enable them.
