NovelKeys has listed limited stock of the Matrix Carnival keyboard kit and Keycult wrist rests. The store’s variant data showed available configurations for both on November 5, 2026. Inventory can change by layout, color and material.

Matrix Carnival — US$635

The Carnival is Matrix Lab’s tenth-anniversary TKL. NovelKeys previously took preorders in February. The in-stock listing includes WKL and Small WKL configurations. The Mint Green WKL with the non-flex-cut option was one of the available US$635 configurations when checked.

The bottom-mounted kit includes a 1.2 mm hot-swap PCB rated for up to 8,000 Hz polling, with no RGB backlighting. It comes with a flex-cut aluminum plate, an additional non-flex polycarbonate plate and plate-mount stabilizers. The polycarbonate plate supports plate-mount stabilizers only. Buyers supply their own switches and keycaps.

The rests come in 60%, 65% and TKL widths with either a walnut or a CNC-machined polycarbonate base. The bar options include finished aluminum, clear-coated brass and clear-coated copper. NovelKeys notes that walnut grain and color vary from piece to piece.

Available configurations ranged from a US$75 60% walnut rest with a dark teal anodized bar to a US$115 TKL polycarbonate rest with a copper bar. The product page also carries a Q1 2027 extras label. Check the exact size, base and bar combination for current availability.
