In 2020, Angry Miao introduced the Cyberboard, a keyboard drawing inspiration from the Tesla Cybertruck. Now, its branch, Dry Studio, has unveiled a new keyboard that takes cues from cats, in a way. Named the Petbrick 65, this mechanical keyboard is designed to be pettable, featuring a detachable fluffy outer shell.
A Unique Concept
Dry Studio claims that the Petbrick 65 is the world’s first fluffy custom mechanical keyboard that you can actually pet. Priced at $239, it aims to appeal to cat lovers who have dealt with their feline friends lounging on their keyboards, interrupting their work. With the Petbrick 65, users can enjoy the soothing experience of petting a cat without the interruptions that come with a real one.
Handcrafted and Soft
The fluffy outer layer attaches to the keyboard with magnets and is crafted by hand from a washable fabric. Dry Studio mentions that this shell is produced by a toy factory with years of expertise, giving it a texture reminiscent of a stuffed toy.
Advanced Features
The keyboard incorporates Angry Miao's Leaf-Spring mount and features an eight-layer build that includes a sandblasted POM plate, IXPE 8 switch pad, and two layers of ultra-low-density EPDM sound-dampening foam. It also boasts a unique Crystal Pink switch created by Dry Studio and customizable RGB lighting options.
The Petbrick 65 can operate in both wired and wireless modes, connecting via Bluetooth or 2.4GHz wireless technology. It is equipped with a 5,000mAh battery, although the duration of a single charge remains unspecified. This keyboard comes in two colors, Calico and Odd-eye, both featuring cat-themed keycaps.
Future Developments
Dry Studio has indicated that additional colors will be released in the future. While these upcoming options will also have a removable fluffy outer shell, they won’t carry a cat-themed design.
