Open it without tools, alter its structure, and watch repeated change shape it into an artifact of the present. A narrative-driven design approach, combined with Hurbon’s manufacturing expertise, defines the modular construction. Each component is designed for disassembly and reconfiguration, revealing the system within the form.

PCB by Yiancar Designs uses a black FR4 board with hotswap sockets, allowing switches to be installed without soldering. It supports both ANSI and Tsangan bottom row layouts. The dampening stack includes Poron plate foam, an IXPE switch pad, a PET sheet, and Flex Bricks for improved acoustic control and typing feel. Plate options include Aluminum (AL 6063) or Polycarbonate (PC) switch plates.

flex bricks suspension
flex bricks suspension
A concealed suspension supports the internal assembly. At each contact point, interchangeable Flex Bricks absorb impact, decoupling keystrokes from the enclosure to reduce transmitted shock while allowing the sound and feel of the board to be precisely tuned. Three sets of Flex Bricks (Soft, Medium, and Hard) are included in the base package, giving users control over both acoustic character and typing response.

Three sets of Flex Bricks (Soft, Medium, and Hard) are included in the base package, giving users control over both acoustic character and typing response.
Flex Bricks sit between the internal assembly and the case, acting as controlled contact points.
When a key is pressed, the suspension allows the assembly to move slightly, compressing the Flex Bricks and absorbing impact before it reaches the enclosure.

Softer bricks provide greater compression and a deeper acoustic profile, while harder bricks deliver a firmer response and sharper sound signature. Users can swap between sets to fine-tune both the typing feel and the acoustic character of the board.

A fixed 4° incline and integrated handrest establish a neutral posture, while the internal construction maintains rigidity across every layer. Built to support long use without drawing attention to itself.

Structural rigidity maintained across the full surface. No breaks between rest, plate, and enclosure.

Nothing here is ornamental. The rear surface completes the structure, balancing mass and proportion to define the keyboard as a single, finished object.

ANSI/Tsangan Layouts
ANSI/Tsangan Layouts
Two established layout standards are supported. ANSI and Tsangan configurations are accommodated through the same layered structure, allowing different spacing and bottom-row arrangements without altering the overall form or construction.

“Building Stratum meant caring about every layer from the feel of the keystroke to the way the object lives on a desk. The details only matter if you truly care about them. The only way to do great work is to love what you do.”
