Hi everyone, and this is MM Studio.
Class65 was the first GB we finished which really means a lot to us. And today we are bringing u 2 different type of Class65 V3, and hoping u like our design!
Renders:
Brass Reforged Version:
When redesigning the Class65, we considered radically altering its original aesthetic—introducing complex design languages or flashy color schemes. Yet lastly, we chose to stay true to its timeless retro essence.
Inspired by vintage keyboards’ pen rests, we utilized the Class series’ signature wide bezel and raised top case to integrate a solid brass pen rest as a functional accent. A matching brass trim was added along the rear edge to enrich visual depth from all angles while subtly increasing the keyboard’s heft.Classic Version:
The Classic version retains the iconic plain bezel design of the Class65 V1 and V2. Eschewing decorative elements, it features only the signature solid-color wide frame - letting the front panel elevate any desktop set.Most importantly, both version now support solenoid and buzzers!
Color and version options:
