What is Sonoma
Sonoma is a 65% layout custom keyboard offered by Wired In.
It’s based on a “Valley of the Moon” concept, featuring a distinctive design that incorporates circular elements into a rectangular case.
Rather than a mass-produced mechanical keyboard, it’s a high-end custom keyboard where you build your preferred configuration by selecting the appearance, materials, mounting method, plate, and PCB.
The layout is WK 65% only.
Four colorways
Sonoma is available in four colorways.
| Color | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Sterling | Silver anodized / Stainless steel |
| Flux | Frosted polycarbonate / Copper |
| Lunar | Cream E-coat / Copper |
| Blood Moon | Red anodized / Black PVD stainless steel |
Each colorway is designed with the case, weight, badge, and accent all coordinated, creating a strong sense of cohesion and aesthetic identity.
Rather than simply choosing a different color, this is a model where you select based on material combinations and how it will look on your desk.
Rear accent is magnetically attached
One of Sonoma’s distinctive features is the structure of the rear accent.
The rear accent uses a swappable structure fixed with neodymium magnets, allowing tool-free attachment and removal.
A buffer is also provided to prevent metal-to-metal contact.
This aspect goes beyond mere decoration and represents how visual customization has been built into Sonoma’s design philosophy.
Three mounting methods available
Sonoma offers three mounting methods.
| mount(ing) system | Details |
|---|---|
| O-ring mount | Structure that suspends the plate from the case using silicone O-rings |
| Plate mount / Gasket sandwich | Structure that supports a plate-and-PCB sandwich with gaskets |
| PCB mount / Bare board | Structure that applies gaskets directly to the PCB without a plate |
Both 50A and 80A silicone gaskets are included, allowing you to choose between softer and firmer gasket mounting options.
This is a model designed to enjoy the typing feel and sound characteristic of custom keyboards, rather than a pre-built keyboard.
PCB available in hotswap and solder versions
The PCB is available in hotswap and solder versions.
The hotswap PCB is for users who prioritize ease of switch replacement.
On the other hand, the solder PCB allows for ISO Enter and Split Left Shift options.
Three plate options
The plate is available in three materials: aluminum, FR4, and carbon fiber.
Generally, the plate material influences the direction of typing feel and sound.
Aluminum offers a firmer typing feel, FR4 provides a balanced and approachable typing experience, and carbon fiber delivers a unique rebound and lighter typing feel.
However, the actual typing feel is determined by a combination of factors including mounting method, switches, and keycaps, so consider this as just one factor.
Replacement parts also available
The product page also lists the following replacement parts as options.
| option | Price |
|---|---|
| Hotswap PCB | $55.00 |
| Solder PCB | $50.00 |
| Orange 50A Gaskets | $8.00 |
| Black 80A Gaskets | $8.00 |
| Aluminum Plate | $25.00 |
| Carbon Fiber Plate | $35.00 |
| FR4 Plate | $20.00 |
Replacement PCBs, plates, and gaskets can be added, making this a design suited for users who want to change their configuration later.
However, spare parts are stated to be manufactured and shipped together with the Sonoma unit itself.
Important notes before purchasing
Sonoma is a pre-order product.
Pre-orders are stated to be non-cancellable and non-refundable.
Additionally, the images shown are renders, and there is no guarantee that the actual product will perfectly match the renders in terms of finish, color, or details.
If ordered together with in-stock items, all items will be shipped together once everything is ready.
Shipping will be based on the item with the longest lead time, so if you need in-stock items immediately, you should place a separate order.
The shipping address is requested to be entered in English.
This is an important consideration when ordering from Japan.

| case (e.g. receptacle, condition, event, legal action, letter style, etc.) | Anodized aluminum / Polycarbonate |
| plate (often as in “tectonic plate”) | Aluminum / FR4 / Carbon Fiber |
| PCB | Solder / Hotswap |
| switch(ing) on | MX-style, 3-pin / 5-pin |
| stabilizer | PCB-mount, screw-in |
| connection | Wired USB-C |
| firmware | QMK / VIA / VIAL |
| Pauling rate | 1000Hz |
| writing | RGB underglow |
| Solder PCB support added | ISO Enter / Split Left Shift |

With support for QMK / VIA / VIAL, it’s easy to use as a custom keyboard designed for keymap changes and layer configurations.
Summary: A 65% keyboard for enjoying the build, not a pre-built solution
That covers Sonoma.
This is truly a design-focused, high-end custom keyboard configuration.
Sonoma may be more suited to users experienced with custom keyboards rather than being a widely popular product in the Japanese market.
The price is $349.00.
Additionally, it’s a pre-order with an estimated shipping target of Q1 2027.
It’s not ideal for those looking for a ready-to-use, pre-built keyboard.
On the other hand, the ability to choose from three mounting methods, two gasket hardnesses, three plate materials, and hotswap/solder PCBs is highly appealing as a custom keyboard.
In particular, the ability to switch between O-ring, gasket sandwich, and PCB mount on a single keyboard should appeal to users who want to refine their typing feel through experimentation.
The combination of high design quality and extensive customization options not only satisfies the sense of ownership but also delivers practical functionality—which is excellent.
