Apos Audio has quietly become one of the more interesting stops for mechanical keyboards — split ergonomic boards, officially licensed keycap collabs, and a running lineup of hot-swap options most sites don't carry. Their August sale runs through August 26 with up to 55% off keyboards and desk products. Below are the picks worth knowing about, starting with the split board on this page's header image.
ErgoDox 76 "Hot Dox" V2
The ErgoDox 76 "Hot Dox" V2 from Alpaca Keyboards is a proper split ergonomic keyboard — not a curved one-piece board, but two independent halves you can place shoulder-width apart (or use one-handed, left or right, if that's what your setup needs). Each half has its own 6-key thumb cluster, which is a lot more real estate than the single spacebar most keyboards give your thumbs to work with.
It's fully hot-swappable, ships with a switch puller, and comes in Light or Dark acrylic-and-aluminum cases. Switch options include the buttery Gateron Milky Yellow Pro linear or the TTC Silent Bluish White V2 tactile, alongside a couple of Kailh options.
Pricing: $189.99 barebones (no switches or keycaps) up to $249.99 fully built with DSA dye-sub keycaps.
WhiteFox Eclipse (Aluminum Low Profile and High Profile)
The WhiteFox Eclipse is a 65% hot-swap keyboard built around a CNC aluminum case, and it comes in two heights depending on how much of a typing angle you want:
- Aluminum Low Profile — $145, down from $225 (36% off)
- Aluminum High Profile — $185, down from $315 (41% off)
Both share the same 65% layout and hot-swap sockets, so the choice comes down to case height and how deep a discount you want to catch — right now the High Profile carries the bigger percentage off. Apos also sells Apos Certified (refurbished, inspected) units of both at an even steeper discount if you don't need it factory-fresh.

Apos x Bob Ross Deskmat and Keycaps
Apos's officially licensed Bob Ross collaboration is the kind of desk gear that's genuinely fun rather than just novelty for novelty's sake — every piece is printed with real paintings from The Joy of Painting.
The Bob Ross Deskmat comes in six different landscape scenes, has stitched edges and a non-slip base, and is currently $23.99, down from $29.99 (20% off).
The matching Apos x Bob Ross Panoramic Scenic Keycaps print full landscape scenes across five sides of a spacebar, plus a Bob Ross portrait on the ESC key. Individual spacebars start at $8.50, or grab the 4-spacebar bundle with the ESC key for $26.25, down from $35 (15% off).
Apos x OLKB Preonic Rev 4
If you've been curious about ortholinear (grid-layout, no staggered rows) keyboards, the Preonic Rev 4 is the newest version of Jack Humbert's original design — the same compact grid as the Planck, but with a dedicated number row added back in. It's available barebones or pre-installed with Gateron Yellow KS-3 linear or TTC Silent Bluish White V2 tactile switches, in Black, Silver, or Yellow cases, with either QWERTY or Colemak legends.
Pricing: $150 barebones up to $205 fully built.
Heads up: this one is a pre-order — Apos lists the expected ship date as the end of November 2026, so this is a "buy now, board arrives later" purchase, not an immediate-ship item like everything else on this page.
