The Creation Tool for Everyone

The WhiteFox Eclipse keyboard is a versatile creation tool for everyone. Its simple UX is designed to be user-friendly, making it easy for anyone to use. At the same time, its extensive customizability will impress even the most diehard enthusiasts.

The feature list is extensive—it surpasses anything on the market today. It combines the iconic style and classic design of the original WhiteFox with optimal state-of-the-art keyboard features like custom magnetic gasket mounting, QMK/VIA programmability, and multi-device Bluetooth pairing.

Magnetic Assembly

A cinch to assemble, disassemble, and customize

Rubberized magnet gaskets make assembling and disassembling the WhiteFox Eclipse fast and simple. Simply align and click into place. It’s never been easier to customize and maintain your keyboard, like lubricating stabilizers or clearing dust. This is especially useful if you choose one of the optional CNC Aluminum cases to back, as you can switch between cases easily.

Standardized Keycap Layout

68% keyboard

Accessibility and ease of use are key principles of our design philosophy. By redesigning the classic 65% layout and adding an extra column, we’ve standardized keycap sizes and ensured that you can use any keycap set available — without the need for non-standard keycap sizes (No need for a short right shift)!  This makes aftermarket customization a breeze, allowing you to personalize your keyboard without needing to worry about whether the keycaps will fit your board.

QMK/VIA

Customize keys, macros, and layers

VIA with QMK firmware gives you total control over your keyboard, allowing you to remap keys, create layers, and set up macros — all without needing to reflash firmware! Save time by creating macros, or optimize layers for different situations, such as gaming and programming.

Bluetooth

Connect multiple devices

With wireless functionality and multi-device pairing, the WhiteFox Eclipse is at home in any workspace. Connect to your PC at work for the ultimate minimalist desk experience; your personal Mac and tablet at home; and your phone in a hotel room to give you full typing productivity on the go. The WhiteFox Eclipse has a 4000 mAh battery and should last around 10 days between charges, though the time is cut dramatically if backlighting is used.

PBT Keycaps

Durable and shine-resistant

The Cherry Profile PBT keycaps on the WhiteFox Eclipse are designed with quality and durability in mind. Their material offers a much longer lifespan than ABS keycaps and features a textured surface that is resistant to shine and wear. Its crisp,  custom legends will never fade even after years of heavy use.

Hot-swappable

Hone in on your perfect switch

Customize your typing experience by hot-swapping any switch, including popular brands like Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, and community favorites like Holy Pandas. With this feature, you can quickly and easily customize your keyboard to your preferences without any soldering. Gateron Yellow Linear switches are included by default in this product.

Flex Plate

Absorbs shocks

By incorporating a flex plate, we make sure that the force of your keystrokes is evenly distributed across the switches, resulting in a stable and satisfying feel. The plate is specifically designed to match the PCB in flexibility, providing greater stability for each switch and enhancing your overall typing experience.

Double Gasket Mounted

Softer, cushioned typing

Typing for an extended period of time can be a strain on your hands and fingers. That’s why we designed the WhiteFox Eclipse as the first keyboard with magnetic gaskets that provide a softer, more cushioned feel when typing, that when combined with our flex plate and PCB keeps the keyboard comfortable even after extended periods of use.

WhiteFox Eclipse’s Double Gasket Mounting – engineered for a premium typing experience with enhanced acoustics and feel.

Noise-reducing Foam

Great for shared work spaces

Two layers of foam work together to absorb the sound produced by the switches, making the WhiteFox Eclipse perfect for use in shared workspaces or other quiet environments where noise could be a distraction. These also act as an additional tactile dampener, reducing bottom-out impact and increasing ergonomics and typing feel.

Made for Mac and Windows

Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android – includes Mac and Windows custom keys!

Whether you use Mac, Windows, or both, the WhiteFox Eclipse is the perfect solution for anyone needing a versatile keyboard that can handle multiple operating systems. The keyboard includes keycaps labeled for both systems, so you won’t have to worry about compatibility issues. Plus, you’ll get full control over the layout customization for both systems, making it easy to customize your keyboard to suit your needs.

Seamless Design

Stylish and functional

The clean lines and uninterrupted design create a streamlined appearance that’s both stylish and functional. Not only does the WhiteFox Eclipse look great, the magnetic assembly of the keyboard makes it easy to use and customize, while removing all visible screws! The Eclipse’s frame and outer case are designed with high quality and long-lasting materials, with a clean matte finish!

Behold the WhiteFox Eclipse’s seamless design – where cutting-edge technology meets breathtaking elegance for the ultimate typing masterpiece.

RGB LED Lighting

PCB with south-facing LEDs 

The south-facing per-key RGB LEDs on the top, paired with the underglow at the bottom, create a dazzling ambience. Choose from a wide range of colors and lighting effects to create a personalized look that matches your style or mood. Take full control of your lighting customization — or turn them completely off!

Supply Chain Constraints: Global supply chain disruptions can impact the availability of components and materials, which may affect our production timeline. We’ve secured relationships with multiple suppliers to minimize the risk of shortages.

Shipping and Logistics: Shipping delays and issues with international customs can lead to extended delivery times. We’ll work closely with our logistics partners to ensure efficient and timely delivery, while providing regular updates to our backers.

Quality Control: Ensuring that each WhiteFox Eclipse unit meets our high-quality standards is essential. We’ve established strict quality control procedures and will work closely with our manufacturing partners to guarantee a consistent, superior product.

Environmental commitments

Long-lasting design

Mechanical Keyboards are fundamentally more durable than more disposable keyboards. The switches are rated for more than 50 million keypresses, and in the event that one fails, this uses a hot swap design where it can be replaced for cents.

—————————————————————————

Reusability and recyclability

Most of the components and parts of this keyboard can be removed and reserviced for your next keyboard, including the switches, keycaps, and stabilizers.

—————————————————————————

Sustainable materials

We use PBT plastics for the keycaps, which make up a large portion of the plastic used in this project. PBT is very re-usable, long lasting, and can be more easily recycled than some other plastics.

Environmentally friendly factories

Our factory is carefully selected due to their high degree of competency and accuracy during production. Our goal is to minimize the number of failed units produced, and ensure that the production doesn’t create unnecessary waste.
