Mountain: New company to offer fully modular mechanical keyboard with LCD keys
Mountain is new to the market, this brand will introduce the Everest through a Kickstarter project, a fully modular mechanical keyboard, with the necessary accessories as optional. Also, the keyboard is unique in many ways, with LCD keys, swappable switches and more.
Everest can be pre-ordered, from 95€ ($90 / £85 - depending on exchange rate). The Everest keyboard is available as the Core Version in TKL format and MAX version featuring the removable numpad and media dock. Mountain’s design philosophy is built on four pillars: Innovation, Performance, Aesthetics and Modularity. The Everest keyboard includes patent-pending features, designed from the ground up. Integrated display keys can be assigned to any game or application for a faster launch, the modular media dock with circular display dial provides unprecedented levels of control and allows you to monitor your system. The magnetic removable numpad and magnetic feet allow multiple levels of height adjustment for ease of use. The Everest keyboard is built to the highest standard - created from double-plated aluminium, combined with CNC-milling for added aesthetics.
Each Everest is ready to be personalized to your own style and comfort requirements. Hot-swappable Cherry MX Switches for what works best in any given game, RGB illumination offers 16.7million colors to choose from, while a comfortable magnetic palm rest makes it perfect for long playing sessions. There’s also a USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub that provides an additional high-speed USB port, limiting the amount of unnecessary cables and extensions in your setup, and N-Key Rollover ensuring Everest can handle whatever inputs are thrown at it. With the easy-to-use and in-house developed Base Camp™ software available to set up Macros, you can respond even while gaming.
“From the very beginning, our philosophy was to design user-centric products without any compromise,” says Tobias Brinkmann, Founder & CEO of Mountain. “We wanted to create an innovative keyboard enabling customization for individual needs through modularity. In its very essence, Everest is the keyboard we wanted for ourselves”
In the production of Everest, a key focus for Mountain is reducing the environmental impact. Everest and its modular components are built to last. Although plastic packaging will be kept to a minimum, all plastic used will be recyclable and the packaging itself has been designed to be reused. Mountain has also partnered with Plastic Bank. By purchasing our product, you will support extracting 25000 kg of plastic from the environment in 2020 with Mountain and Plastic Bank.
Everest is being released in two versions, Everest Core and Everest Max, available on Kickstarter from 95€ ($90 / £85 - depending on exchange rate).

It is proper Ten-Keyless keyboard, everything else is extra on top.
Ten-Keyless keyboard = 99EUR
Ten-Keyless keyboard + Palm Rest = 124EUR
Ten-Keyless keyboard + Media dock = 149EUR
Ten-Keyless keyboard + NUM Pad = 169EUR
Ten-Keyless keyboard + Palm Rest + Media dock + NUM Pad = 199EUR
And they have a strangely priced 95EUR for just basic Ten-Keyless keyboard without caps and switches, for 4EUR more you get proper full set so who needs that?

Thats a pretty interesting concept. If they make a proper tenkeyless not just removable, I might look into something like this keyboard.
