Designed by Keebfront, the Vanguard65 is an extremely unique 65% keyboard that offers not just a knob, but also a functional slider. The case design is inspired by the Porsche Cayman, which is a perfect representation of a timeless masterpiece.

Features of the Slider/Fader

Layers Shift: Switch between keyboard layers by allowing the slider to easily transition between your different key bindings set within VIA.

MIDI encoding: Let the slider act as a MIDI CC, meaning you can program it to pass values to supported software in order to make adjustments on the fly beyond music and photo/video production. They will provide more details of a recommended list of DAW software and open-source apps that you can download for free in the builders guide.

RGB Brightness Control: Set the brightness levels of the case underglow.

Volume Control: Command your system volume with MIDI companion programs

Keebfront built an extension within VIA for a seamless user experience to configure the slider on-the-fly.
