The WhiteFox is a 65% keyboard designed by Deskthority user Matt3o.
It uses HaaTa's Kiibohd firmware but it is also compatible with TMK firmware.
History
The project originally stemmed from a discussion on the forum about what should be Deskthority's next community keyboard project. Matt3o designed the WhiteFox with layout of one of his earlier 65% DIY designs and had it made into a Input Club project. It was first sold through Massdrop in several layout variations including ISO and ANSI but is now (Nov '18) sold on the Kono store only in the Unix-inspired "TrueFox" layout.
Now, there is also a dark-themed "NightFox" variant.
In late 2023, Input Club designed the WhiteFox Eclipse 70% keyboard, inspired by the original 65% WhiteFox, and had it manufactured and sold through Alpaca Keyboards. Matt3o allowed it, but had no part in the keyboard's design. It has modern features such as gasket mounting, flexible plate and PCB, switch-swapping sockets and Bluetooth, as well as RGB backlight and underglow. It is held together with magnets instead of screws.
