NOTICE:

These are complete Nightfox keyboards including carry case and accessories, but are sold at a reduced price due to a factory defect with the switches. These keyboards are known to contain hairtrigger switches (they will misfire with minor contact or bumping), and may require re-soldering new switches to fully function. A warranty is not available for these products and they are sold as-is. 

 

The compact and programmable NightFox is a darker relative of the WhiteFox. Identical in every way but color, the NightFox has black PBT keycaps and deep red accent keys that contain just a hint of orange. Its CNC machined case, plate, and screws are a dark anthracite coal color. Gain unprecedented control over your desktop with this mechanical keyboard.

This may be the last batch of classic NightFoxes. A microcontroller shortage, which affects availability and pricing, makes future production (outside of some limited production from spare parts) unlikely. Don't miss your chance to own this timeless design. Please note that these keyboards contain old switch stock; you can learn more at the bottom of the page.

hako switches

Input Club designed Hako switches for its keyboards. Jacob Alexander (HaaTa) created the Hako line to emulate the best elements of Cherry MX Clear and Topre mechanical keyswitches. Hako switches pair Kaihua’s Box architecture, which is self-cleaning, with a highly engineered slider to create amazing smoothness and bottom-out resistant tactility. You can view Hako force curves in The Comparative Guide to Mechanical Switches on Input Club’s website.

true fox physical layout

Mechanical keyswitches are wonderful on their own, but they require an excellent layout to shine. True Fox is optimized for rapid typing and quick computer input. Note that the included full-size backspace will not fit on this physical layout; it's only present to simplify packaging across 'Fox variants.

open source programmability

The NightFox heralds a new class of open source keyboards. It easily surpasses top of the line gaming models in transmission speed, aesthetics, and key feel. 'Foxes also feature native compatibility and NKRO in Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. You can find files to make your own NightFox (or replacement parts) on Github.

Further tweaks via the KLL Configurator enable key reassignments and macros for optimal productivity. The Configurator, which is a firmware flashing program, does not run in the background or consume system resources like branded gaming suites.

customize your keyboard

We recommend updating your 'Fox to the newest firmware version upon arrival. Please download our firmware Configurator, which automatically uses the current firmware version, to customize your NightFox. If you have questions about the process please contact Kono support.
