FaceW

A 60% no frills keyboard.

The FaceW is a special run of the WKL B.Face sourced from Sprit that doesn't have underglow RGB LEDs but does have in switch LEDs. Also unlike the B.Face, it is based on ps2avru instead of ps2avrGB. It is designed and manufactured in Korea. It originally uses BootMapperClient for programming but can now also use QMK.
