Cycle8 is the second kit following Cycle7, featuring an 80% keyboard layout that continues Cycle's design language and philosophy.

It remains an entry-level product aimed at achieving high completion standards, with improvements in production difficulty and craftsmanship.

Inner Weight

Please note, this is an additional optional purchase:

Battery compartment internal weights (stainless steel adding approximately 315g, brass adding approximately 346g)

These weights are not compatible with the tri-mode battery pack due to size constraints.

Stainless Steel Inner Weight

It retains the EZ-assemble System - a ball-catch quick-assemble structure from Cycle7 and introduces custom CNC components better suited for TKL frames. This release enriches design details compared to its predecessor.

As a TKL-sized keyboard, Cycle8 introduces more features: backlit strip, weight division, a new PC plate material, extensive configuration options, and a new HE version PCB (supported by Rakka).

Lastly, Cycle8 marks the conclusion of TKD's Cycle series for TKL keyboards, paving the way for future projects under TKD with entirely new design concepts.
