The Keck Cosmic Web Imager is a new 2-channel integral field spectrograph being designed for observations of low surface brightness sources in the IGM. It will employ a classical image slicer integral field unit with exchangeable slicer units for added flexibility. We will present the KCWI preliminary design, which is based on an existing spectrograph now in regular use at the Palomar 200" telescope. KCWI will offer enhanced performance as a result of dual band optimization, low noise blue and deep-depleted red CCDs, as well as a robot-driven grating exchanger.
