Nomenclature
Noxary boards generally use a specific naming structure to keep them all identifiable at a glance, however this structure has to be learnt first. Form factors are often in the name in number form, and letters may follow to denote something is unique about it.
- First 3 Characters = Series then Form Factor
- Year = Denotes year of release
- FE, CE, AG, S, HG, etc. = Special versions
- e.g. 380 (2022) = Series 3 80%, released in 2022
SERIES 1 (2016)
X60 V1
Series 1 features one board - X60 V1 - Xondat 60% Version 1. There are 4 versions of X60 V1 - Founders Edition (30 units), Carbon Edition (10), Color Edition (6), and the Standard units (60).
SERIES 2 (2017-2019)
268, 280, 220, 268.2
Series 2 features four boards, which are top mounted plates with a large brass through weight. 268 is the first in this series, which is a 65%, the default layout having 68 keys. Following this, 280 & 220 were the TKL (80%) and numpad (20%) variants. With lessons learnt from these four boards, 268 was heavily revised - this is 268.2.
SERIES 3 (2020-)
Valhalla [36E], 378, X60 V2 [360], 380
Series 3 is the next generation of Noxary boards. These use lessons developed from Special Projects such as Vulcan. They will feature DUAL V2 Mount, no visible screws, and a seamless case design, creating an extremely clean aesthetic. Valhalla started life as Special Project 005 before Series 3 existed.
TOPRE
XRF, Evija HG, Evija
Using Topre switches instead of MX. XRF stands for Xondat Real Force, whilst Evija was developed as a Special Project, thus is named after a British sports car.
SPECIAL PROJECTS
Special Projects are testing experimental designs, and are not based on pre-existing designs. Internally, they are referred to with 3 digits, starting with 001. Special Projects that get released use British sports cars for their names.
- 003 - Vulcan - DUAL V1 Mount, screwless exterior
- 004 - Evija - HHKB based custom
- 005 - Ergo 65% layout seen in Valhalla
- 006 - Vulcan Pro - Successor to Vulcan using lessons learnt
X PROJECTS
X60 V1, X60 R, X65, X60 V2
X Projects all feature the same aesthetic - thicker bezels with small chamfers and less rounded corners, along with a hefty through weight. These boards are based on pre-existing boards, and then modified.
- X60 V1 - part of Series 1
- X60 R - based on 260, part of Series 2
- X65 - based on 268.2, part of Series 2
- X60 V2 - based on 360, part of Series 3
OTHERS
Sometimes projects don't fit in anywhere, and these are named with no specific structure. T60 is simply a Tray mount 60%. 5mm Polycarbonate Tray Mount Plate is exactly what it says it is.
