Overall Introduction:

Cycle8 is the second kit following Cycle7, featuring an 80% keyboard layout that continues Cycle’s design language and philosophy. It remains an entry-level product aimed at achieving high completion standards, with improvements in production difficulty and craftsmanship.

As a break through introduced in Cycle7, EZ-assemble System, a ball-catch quick-assemble structure, will continue to be an integrated part of Cycle8 but with improved custom CNC components better suited for TKL frames.

This release enriches design details compared to its predecessor. As a TKL-sized keyboard, Cycle8 introduces more features:

Backlit Strip

Splitted Bottom Weight

A new PC plate material

And, most importantly, a new HE version PCB, powered by Rakka

Lastly, Cycle8 marks the conclusion of TKD’s Cycle series for TKL keyboards, paving the way for future projects under TKD with entirely new design concepts.
