Angry Miao AM 65 Less
New Angry Miao Layout
As keyboard enthusiasts, we would like to use our keyboards every day. That's why we came up with AM Compact Touch (65 Less). This mechanical keyboard takes the convenience of 65% and simplifies it into a new symmetric aesthetic. An innovative Touch Panel replaces the Layer 1 arrow keys. Everything you need from a daily driver is combined into a sleek package.
AM Compact Touch was originally named AM 65 Less. We originally chose this name because of how this keyboard concept was generated, by thinking about how to maintain the fundamental user habit of 65% and forgo a few for symmetric design. It's "lessified" from 65% but not 65%. Since we'd like to share our new board with more users without confusion, we renamed it to AM Compact Touch.
Inspiration
There's nothing like the DeLorean Time Machine from Back to the Future.
Black and silver complement the sharp lines of the DMC-12, a striking mix between vintage and futurism.
The silver-black color scheme of AM Compact Touch aims to take you back to the 80s. But as soon as your thumb slides over the Touch Panel, the latest tech is at your fingertips.
That's the power of AM Compact Touch.
Two-Stage Adjustable Leaf Spring
World's first keyboard with two-stage adjustable leaf spring mount packed into a compact body. With an adjustable rebound, two different leaf spring materials (phosphorus copper and stainless steel), an adjustment pad, 8 different typing combos are possible without changing out your switches or plate.
A compact design, symmetrical aesthetics, and a satisfying feel and sound. AM Compact Touch has it all.
Touch Panel
Replacing the arrow keys with a custom Touch Panel allows us to achieve a symmetrical shape while retaining the major usage habit you'd get from a 65% layout keyboard.
Sliding your finger to operate the arrow keys provides you with an intuitive feel that simply pressing a button cannot achieve. You can also swipe and hold to control the volume or fast fwd/rwd your favorite videos. It allows you to truly immerse yourself in a new touch experience.
By taking advantage of the Touch Panel, AM Compact Touch is about 11% more compact than an ordinary 65% layout keyboard. This leaves plenty of free space on your desk, and also gives you additional space for your mouse.
7 Unique Editions
The contrasting colors of Back to the Future opened up our inspiration for many more colorways.
We chose a palette of amazing colors and combined them with a unique symmetrical design. AM Compact Touch is the perfect foundation for your keycap choices.
Standard Edition
Back to the Future
This colorway takes its inspiration from the DeLorean Time Machine from Back to the Future, and is matched with our BUGERWORKS collab "Back to the Future" Keycap Set. With its anodized surface finish, it stands out with its retro-futuristic vibe.
Night Drive
Inspired by hacker Lucy from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Night Drive combines anodizing and electrophoresis, to provide a unique purple contrast between its two different surface textures.
All Black
Anodized black and gray surfaces for a black finish that's as deep as the night.

Inspired by the Famicom gaming console. We matched it with JTK Classic FC keycaps. Its finished in an off-white and deep red combo with an electrophoretic finish.
Hard Candy
Inspired by the Japanese anime character Cinnamoroll. Domikey created a matching custom keycap set with us. We used electrophoresis to reproduce the classic white and blue cotton candy-like color combination.
Special RGB Edition
Laser
Inspired by Tesla's Cybertruck. Blocker RGB lighting projects 90 degrees of lighting directly from its unibody shape, much like the headlights on the Cybertruck.
Mech Love
