Deal | Chilkey ND104 full-size wireless mechanical keyboard launches with free keycap set worth $87 in pre-order deal
Chilkey has been running a rather successful Kickstarter campaign for the new ND104 full-size wireless mechanical keyboard, and the keyboard maker just announced the official pre-order launch for the new keyboard. While many of the details of the new keyboard were already revealed ahead of the pre-order — see our previous coverage for more — Chilkey just revealed the full MSRP for the ND104 as well as an early pre-order deal that includes a free gift. This announcement coincides with the launch of Chilkey's Black Friday deals, which include a free mechanical keyboard worth $95+ with certain purchases.
As we discussed previously, the ND104 features a quick-release aluminium case, an option for silent switches, double-shot PBT keycaps, wireless connectivity with 8,000 mAh battery capacity, and an FR4 plate by default. The full-size keyboard, however, also packs a number of niche features, like a modular display, a programmable knob, a calculator built into the num pad, and a navigation cluster that can be replaced by a small parts tray for temporary storage for knick-knacks. The ND104 starts at an MSRP of $199, but certain models cost as much as $219.
The ND104 is available in both ISO and ANSI layouts and in six colourways — Shadow Black, Sky Blue, Soft Pink, Lunar White, Gunmetal Gray, and Lumen Yellow — and with either WS Breeze Linear switches or Silent Linear switches. Buyers can also choose between a 1.2 mm plate or a stiffer 1.6 mm plate that is already in stock. All versions except for the ISO layout are expected to ship sometime in January 2026. The ND104 follows in the footsteps of the Chilkey ND75 (curr. $109.99 on Amazon).

Free 223-key Chilkey keycap set with pre-orders
As part of a launch deal, Chilkey is bundling a free set of Thanksgiving keycaps with each ND104 keyboard until November. When adding a Chilkey ND104 to your cart, you'll be prompted to add a Thanksgiving keycap set, with 100% off, to your cart as well. There are five colourways to choose from for the keycap sets:
- Creamy Charcoal
- Gray Skies
- Blue Oasis
- Sunset Bliss
- Lavender Bliss
The keycap sets in question cost between $85 and $87 and all of the sets have a full complement of 223 keycaps, with support for both ANSI and ISO layouts as well as unorthodox split space and ortholinear layouts. In addition to the free keycaps, buyers of the ND104 will also get a set of 10 Wuque Studios Breeze switches to test.
