Hello everyone, I’m David from OF Studio!
I’m excited to introduce our first 60% keyboard — OF 1.

“Freedom Within Order”
When visual symmetry is subtly broken, and change brings unnecessary burden, we choose to start anew.
The OF 1 is our exploration of pure form:
• Visual Order: We abandoned compromise curves and reshaped the contours with precise calculations. Every edge follows visual symmetry, achieving a calm and balanced geometric aesthetic.
• Inner Freedom: We innovated the core structure to free possibilities from redundancy. It is designed to adapt and evolve without adding extra burden for every experiment.
Find stability in order, embrace change in simplicity — this is the spirit of OF 1.
Render as follows:
The following is the second type of top cover. Compared with the first type of magnetic arrangement strip, its cost is much lower. In terms of structure, it is not as radical. Through understanding, we found that most players still prefer an integrated top cover. This feedback will lead us to decide to change to an integrated top cover. The good news is that the cost will be significantly reduced.
Structure & Innovation
Many enthusiasts struggle with this: trying different layouts usually means buying a whole new top case, increasing costs and storage needs.
OF 1 breaks this convention — switch layouts without changing the top case.
• Freely switch between multiple layouts
• No extra cost or storage required
• Full control back in your hands
This keyboard is not just a tool, but a statement: find peace in order, spark creativity in freedom.
Through this IC (Interest Check), we aim to gather real feedback from the custom keyboard community to better understand opinions on this structure.
