Altar II
Shockingly thin, fully mechanical keyboard masterpiece
Altar II is a fully mechanical keyboard housed in an impossibly thin 4.75mm chassis. Breakthrough engineering — a preloaded tension spring arranged laterally rather than vertically — enables a true mechanical switch with just 1.8mm of vertical travel, wrapped in steel construction for durability and long operating life. It redefines the low-profile keyboard category while preserving the precise, tactile typing experience enthusiasts expect from a mechanical board. Also included is the M-Dial, a magnetically detachable, clickable, swappable dial that supports twist, click, double-click, triple-click, and press-and-hold gestures for volume, playback, and Siri.
Use Cases
- Mac users wanting a thin mechanical keyboard with deep native macOS integration
- Typists who want a mechanical feel without the wrist strain of tall keyboard leading edges
- Creative professionals using Figma, DaVinci Resolve, or Visual Studio Code who want app-specific shortcuts
- Night workers who need a backlight that preserves night vision and doesn't disrupt sleep
- Travelers who want a compact 75% layout with a detachable dial that snaps off for stowing
- Users who want haptic feedback for notifications, reminders, and alerts from their Mac
