CannonKeys unveiled the Bullet Train, a unique 40% form factor mechanical keyboard. It features a low-profile design and the V4N4G0N layout, adding a half number row for gaming utility. The compact kit includes an aluminum case and a default FR4 plate for wireless signal integrity, with optional plates available later.

Enthusiasts get both wired and wireless options. The wireless version likely uses ZMK firmware over Bluetooth, while the wired model supports QMK. Both support hot-swap switches compatible with Gateron KS-33 low-profile V2s. A distinctive 0° typing angle and split space bar cater to specific ergonomic preferences within the small footprint.

CannonKeys will launch the Bullet Train as a group buy on February 5. Prices start at $170 for the wired hot-swap kit and $200 for wireless. Users must supply their own keycaps and switches, though the brand often offers discounted bundles. Color options include black, dark green, lilac, pink, and silver.
