Fruitbar R2 Invisibolt Case and PCB Group Buy
Welcome to Fruitbar Round 2, the long awaited successor to one of the most popular introductions to 40s keyboards!
Fruitbar is here to make the introduction to 40% keyboards as smooth as possible, and Round 2 improves on almost every aspect over the original round from Fruitykeeb.
Here is a link to a sound test from nainaigogo
Some of the improvements for Round 2 are:
- Stacked Acrylic Cases- We partnered with Fruit to offer a pair of special edition Invisibolt Acrylic Cases compatible with both Round 2 and Round 1 Group Buys! This invisibolt case listing does not support the round 1 switch plates. There is a Round 1 compatible case only option available here.
- Better Layout Supports- Supported layouts have been expanded to include better bottom row and split spacebar options - Stepped Caps lock, and improved ISO compatibility Integrated PCB Construction! - Moving to the RP2040 microcontroller, soldering and assembling your Fruitbar is easier than ever and takes less than half the time as Round 1
- International Vendors- International shipping is always a pain, and while we aren't able to solve this for everyone, we've done our best to bring on vendors for the major regions from R1
- Piit with 42keebs.eu will be the European Vendor
- Antstar with customkbd.com will be the Australian Vendor
- We are the North America / Rest of World Vendor

- The case uses the same switch plate as the skeleton version located here. It will come stock with a white FR4 plate, but you can substitute with other plate options if FR4 isn't your style. The plate files are available by request.
- The case features adhesive gaskets on the bottom of the switch plate and screws to keep everything nice and secure, as well as helping damping.
