Code:002 is a winkeyless TKL designed by Sinner around the character Zero Two. Its pink upper case, red lower case and pair of aluminum horns turn that reference into a recognizable silhouette, rather than relying only on matching keycaps.

At UK retailer proto[Typist], the complete keyboard kit is listed at £535.00 GBP. That retailer’s group-buy window runs October 30 through November 30, 2026, with customer shipping estimated on or before June 30, 2027.

From a personal project to two prototypes

In the original interest check, Sinner describes developing the keyboard with friend Raimi over roughly a year and completing two prototypes before presenting it to the community. The colors were chosen to match GMK Darling R1: Pantone 7422 C for the top and RAL 3003 for the bottom, plate and horns.

The case’s sharply stepped profile and small rear horns carry the character reference into the hardware. This is described as a character-inspired design; the sources reviewed do not establish official licensing.

The design supports top mount and an O-ring mounting configuration. A brass internal weight sits alongside a polished stainless steel external weight and badge. Keebpedia has not tested the keyboard’s typing feel or sound.
