Rechteck – Compact Wireless 60% Mechanical Keyboard
A travel-ready, ultra-low-profile wireless keyboard built for minimalists, developers, and everyday carry setups.
Rechteck is a custom mechanical keyboard designed from the ground up to be as compact, efficient, and portable as possible — all while maintaining top-tier performance. It features a high-profile aluminum case, ZMK firmware support, and low-profile Choc switches, a modern take on the 60% layout, purpose-built for travel and daily use.
Key Features:
-
Ultra-Compact 60% Layout: Measures just 274mm x 91mm (~10.75" x 3.6") — one of the smallest fully functional mechanical keyboards available.
-
Wireless BLE with ZMK Firmware: Supports multi-device pairing, wireless profiles, and full programmability through open-source ZMK firmware.
-
Choc V1 Hot-Swap PCB: Compatible with all Choc V1 low-profile switches. No soldering required.
-
Extended Battery Life: Get 2–4 weeks of use on a single charge, thanks to a custom internal battery and optimized sleep behavior.
-
Optional 5° Tilt Legs: Add adjustable tilt with Boardsource’s Booster System — choose forward or rear tilt based on your typing preference.
-
CNC Aluminum Case: Includes sound dampening foam for a more satisfying feel. Solid, sleek, and designed to travel.
-
Ultra-Low Profile: Just 19mm tall from desk to keycap top — thinner than most low-profile boards on the market.
Why We Built It
Getting Rechteck this compact meant paying special attention to details most keyboards overlook. We started with Choc spacing to reduce finger travel and shrink the footprint. Then we created a custom battery cutout under the spacebar to keep the board thin without sacrificing battery life.
To support this unique layout, we developed MBK Engage keycaps — one of the only sets with full compatibility for Choc-based 60% boards. Combined with ZMK firmware, the result is a wireless keyboard that’s just as capable on a desk as it is in a backpack.
What to Know Before You Buy
- Switch Compatibility: Choc V1 switches only
- Keycap Compatibility: Optimized for MBK Engage
- Firmware: ZMK firmware requires some setup familiarity
- Layout Style: Choc spacing is tighter than MX — efficient once adjusted, but may feel different at first
