INTRODUCING

BAUER 65

The Bauer 65 marks a new chapter for the lineup: introducing a WK layout and Hall Effect support for the first time, alongside the EC DynaCap and MX options the community already knows.

Built around a CNC aluminum case with gasket mount for improved acoustics and sound isolation, the Bauer 65 is available in both WK and WKL configurations, giving more builders a seat at the table.

Whether you're running MX, DynaCap EC, or HE switches, there's a version of this board built for how you type.

Iconic Bauer arch

The Bauer design language has always been centered around the famous arch. We didn't dare mess with perfection.

0.75u "Bauer blockers"

The Bauer was the first to introduce symmetrical WKL blockers on a 65% keyboard back in 2018.

Winkey layout available

After years of requests to offer a winkey layout, we have caved. You no longer have to use WKL to join the Bauer family!

Hall-effect (HE) Support

We have inserted the Venom HE PCB line by Geon Works into the Bauer ecosystem! Gamers are rejoicing everywhere!

Reverse-compatible with Bauer Lite

Every part of the Bauer 65 and the Bauer Lite are swappable and compatible with each other! Further expanding the Bauer ecosystem into more materials.

Redesigned from scratch

We redesigned the Bauer from the ground up to make it completely compatible with the Bauer Lite. We also made the internals more modern and borrowed from the Bauer Lite for better sound, feel, and aesthetics.

New Plate Design

We made some improvements to the plate design by moving the compression points away from the spacebar switch to remove the "stiffness" of the spacebar. And all Bauer plates going back to Bauer 2 are still compatible with each other!

DynaCap (EC) Support

Electrocapacitive has been on the rise because of DynaCap. It has been a huge hit with the Bauer Lite and it was only natural that we made it available to its machined counterpart, the Bauer 65.

LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK

RAW FINISH PATINA

Raw aluminum develops a natural patina over time, showing darker edges and fingerprint marks as the uncoated surface ages. Unlike brass and copper, this weathering happens gradually and subtly.

  • Top Housing: Aluminum or Polycarbonate
  • Plate: Aluminum
  • Bottom Housing: Aluminum
  • PCB: Hybrid hot-swap (MX + EC support) or VENOM65HE from Geon
  • USB Daughterboard and JST cable
  • Silicone taco and donut bumpers
  • Poron isolation strips
  • Rubber adhesive feet
  • Build guide
  • Carrying case

Raw aluminum is left completely uncoated and unanodized. While every unit is inspected before shipment, the nature of the finish means minor blemishes may occasionally be present out of the box. With regular handling, the surface will develop a natural patina over time. This is intentional, and part of what makes raw aluminum a living finish. Note that aluminum patinas at a much slower rate than brass or copper that some enthusiasts may be familiar with.

Does not include keycaps, stabilizers, or switches/DynaPak. The images shown are used for illustrative purposes only. While we aim to accurately estimate and reproduce colors, there may be minor variations in the color of the actual product because of differences in display output due to lighting and digital photography and color settings and capabilities of monitors.

designed with continuity in mind

SHARED ECOSYSTEM

Bauer 65 is refined and intentional on its own.

 

For those who want more, compatibility with Bauer Lite components opens the door to additional customization using parts that are already within reach.
