Bauer Lite / Small Batch
Like the name suggests, our ‘Small Batches’ are small, limited batches created during various times in the injection mold process of Bauer™ Lite parts. The number of units per batch varies with each run and is determined by the colors involved, as different color combinations create more units than others. Each batch will consist of units that are all similar in color, however, every unit is unique and has a completely random pattern/color that is one-of-a-kind.
When you order a Bauer Lite Small Batch, we will ship the boards in the same order that they are purchased. Once a batch is sold out, it is gone forever. Every batch will be very limited and is first come, first serve.
To make it even more exciting, we here at Omnitype don't even know what combinations we are going to get until we open the box, once they arrive! It is truly a surprise for us! Once we receive the units, we create the best color combinations we can to offer unique and exciting colorways that are truly unique!
BAUER™ LITE SMALL BATCH
We are so proud of the small batch units of Bauer Lite, created during the resin color swaps on the injection mold machine. Each unit is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, ensuring that no two keyboards are the same!
With each unit being unique, owning a small batch Bauer Lite keyboard means you have a truly one-of-a-kind piece. Whether you're a keyboard enthusiast, a collector, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of individuality, these keyboards are sure to captivate your attention.
Each batch is labeled and will be very limited. Each board packaging will be hand numbered and will include an authentication card indicating the batch and board number you received.
Like the name suggests, our ‘Small Batches’ are small, limited batches created during various times in the injection mold process of Bauer™ Lite parts. The number of units per batch will vary with each run and is determined by the colors involved, as different color combinations create more units than others. Each batch will consist of units that are all similar in color and combination, however, every unit is unique and has a completely random pattern/color/intensity that is one-of-a-kind.
Small Batches will have no photos listed before they are sold and will only have a description of the colorway next to the variant name. So it will be a mystery as to what you get until you open your box!
And we're also in on the mystery as we here at Omnitype don't even know what we are going to get until they arrive. It is truly a surprise for us as well! Once we receive the units, we curate the best color combinations to offer unique and exciting colorways that are truly one-of-a-kind!
All Bauer Lite Small Batches will be dropped in stock as first come, first serve. Drops will happen on Saturdays at 2PM Central Time as we have units available.
Sign up for the Bauer Lite newsletter to be notified. We will only notify the day before and not at the time of the drop because of the limited nature of these products.
When you order a Bauer Lite Small Batch, we will ship the boards in the same order that they are purchased. Once a batch is sold out, it is gone forever. As we mentioned, every batch will be very limited and will be limited to one per customer.
Each Small Batch board will come with a handwritten sleeve and authentication card showing the date, batch #, board #, and the mixture of plastic transparency in the batch.
MAKE IT YOUR OWN
Mix-and-match tops, bottoms, and plates to create your own custom colorway that is perfect for you!
Breakaway backspace plate design
The Bauer Lite plate is designed to support both full and split-backspace options without the normal compromises of your switch being crooked from the lack of proper support. We achieved this with a unique breakaway plate design. By default, the plate supports split-backspace, but just break off the center support with some pliers to use full-backspace!

Small batch units are not made as final production units and are considered sample units. They may contain cosmetic issues such as, but not limited to scratches, dings, and specs. These units are made when swapped from one color to another on the injection molding machines and each unit is unique. Not two units are alike. Small batch units are not eligible for return or exchange for cosmetic issues. These units also include the other injection molded keyboard kit standards listed above.
Plastic parts are made via injection molding, which has the possibility to have small defects that include flow lines, weld lines, warping, sink marks, and jetting.
Switches, and stabilizers are not included.
The images shown are used for illustrative purposes only. While we aim to accurately estimate and reproduce colors, there may be minor variations in the color of the actual product because of differences in display output due to lighting and digital photography and color settings and capabilities of monitors.
