After discovering the severe lack of cute macropads in the mech keebs space, the Squircle was quickly ideated to help fill the niche! The GB was CONUS-only & limited to 50 units where spots were raffled off. This was exclusive to the CKC Discord in order to ensure the quality of the macropad without overwhelming ourselves.

Available in 3 pastel colors and priced at an amazing $35, the Squircle was a hit among CKC members. Rumor has it that R2 might run after this GB has been fulfilled, with a refreshing high-profile, options for engraving, & international inclusivity! Prototype shown here in white was made & photographed by Nicole to show-off the Squircle’s cute shape & size. Also featured here is a Green Frosted Squircle complete with GMK Taro R2 novelties and Banana Split linear switches from The.Key Company

This is a CKC-collaborative project between myself, MissEevee, Andromache, & Nicole Studios (sole designer of the Squircle), not an AstroBunny Studios brand project ~(=^‥^) Mission Control is handling the cute, careful packaging & shipping!
