Earlier this year, Thock King had the amazing opportunity to work with Solana Foundation, one of the largest and most prominent blockchain platforms and cryptocurrencies, to giveaway a set of custom mechanical keyboards for their company event. This project featured a full set of custom keycaps designed by James that reflected Solana as a brand, and we are now beyond excited to introduce our latest product collaboration: Solana x Thock King TK65 Pro. This blog post will cover the specs of the keyboard and where to order for those who are interested.
The Keyboard: TK65 Pro
This special edition collab features one of our newest products to hit the store: the TK65 Pro. With full aluminum casing, a metal knob, tri-mode connectivity, gasket mounting, and a flex-cut PCB, this sleek, black keyboard is perfect for tech lovers and those who want to upgrade their desk setup at work. Oh, and did we mention it's also MAC compatible ;)? While the TK65 Pro is available as a barebones kit in silver and black on our website, the Solana collab comes as a fully assembled keyboard in the black colorway only.

The Keycaps
The keycaps that come on the board are high-quality dye-sub PBT designed by James himself. The legend colorway is a gradient comprised of Solana's brand color palette on black and features two novelties as part of the set that you can swap out for the regular keys. The result is a simple, but extremely eye-catching design that captures the modernity and advancement of Solana. Since the board comes fully assembled already, it will not ship with the rest of the keycap set and we do not have plans to sell it separately at this time.
The Switches
The switches featured in this board are TTC Silent Brown V2 RGB tactiles, a favorite amongst the Solana Foundation team members. These quiet switches offer a satisfying bump and are perfect for those who work in an office setting or those who might be more sensitive to sound. The Solana x Thock King TK65 Pro will only come with this one switch option but if you would like to change it up, you can easily pull them out and swap them in with other switches thanks to the hotswap PCB.
Where to Buy
This exciting collab will be priced at $159 USD and is live for pre-order on the Thock King website linked here on December 5, 2024 @12am PST.
Furthermore, Thock King is proud to be one of the selected brands to be a part of Solana Foundation's On-Chain Holiday event where they will be giving away 100 promotional, limited edition collab boards on December 5. Customers will be able to use cryptocurrency to purchase this exclusive board.
We hope this unexpected crypto collab will be enjoyed by keyboard and tech enthusiasts alike, and even if you don't fall into either of those categories we're sure the Solana x Thock King TK65 Pro will bring an upgraded and refreshing to any desk setup.
