AeroBoard70 Wrist Rest

Detail of Wrist Rest

AB70 SE: PRIME?

More detail of Prime edition

Regarding the name, it coincides with the release of the Transformers 7 movie. I feel that the shape of the G1 with this theme matches the overall tough appearance of the AB70. There are many discussions about whether the villain Scourge is the Darkside Optimus Prime, so I want to use the Darkside Optimus Prime color scheme. Make a limited edition.
This launch is a limited edition of AB70, which is a product whose effect is determined only after repeated docking with the supplier on materials and processes during the design stage.
Overall realization 316 food-grade stainless steel + mirror/fog PVD coating + AF anti-fingerprint coating

Of course, it’s not just about color matching, this time the keyboard will also come with a kit of 5 artisan keycaps inspired by Optimus Prime’s mask
Specially designed for AB70's symmetrical split space and alt keys(1.5U+3U+1U+3U+1.5U)(Brass+PVD+AF)

Next, please enjoy the overall rendering of AB70 prime

Long time no see guys.I am the designer of AXE60.Since the launch of AXE60,I have been patiently designing and modifying new keyboards while also thinking about how to make my design serve more players.

After careful consideration,I have decided to split the style into two main branches,where the Nordic mythological style of AXE will continue (players who like AXE don't have to worry) and the other is a relatively more sci-fi and tough style.

The AeroBoard70 to be introduced next is such a keyboard.Let’s show it to you through the following self-made CG trailer video that has been rendered for more than one month.

Design

Inspiration

No single reference,but influenced by the hard straight lines and grid elements from sci-fi vehicles in movies and industrial or electronic products.
"aeroboard" is derived from the meaning of "aeroboat" to express a sci-fi design looking of hybrid spacecraft or vehicles.
When the word aero is mentioned now, people generally think of a more rounded and streamlined shape, but in the last century, whether it was a sci-fi movie vehicle or a real car, there were many tougher lines.

Outside

1.To highlight the symmetry of the WKL on the upper shell, separate PVD stainless steel components are used to fill the gap between 65% and 5%.

2.The RGB light strip composed of 30 lamp beads is on the top side, which can be used as a desktop ambient light under dim light，like a spaceship thruster.

3.The independent bottom edge components are visually designed with edge wrapping, and inner grooves are cut to allow tempered glass to be embedded in it.
4.The grid part is inspired by Corsair's old Dominator Platinum. The grid, an industrial heat dissipation element, appears very harmoniously on retro vehicles.
5.Two pieces of toughened glass on the top side, the multi-layer coating surface not only has a beautiful reflective effect, but also can smoothly transmit RGB light.

Inside

1.In order to achieve dual leaf mount, double the number of steps are cut on edge of the bottom and upper shells.

2.Except for the small FPC and FPC adapter PCB grooves on the bottom, no other grooves, which can achieve better sound performance.

3.For the integrity of the bottom case, the vertical PCB and side-emitting lamp beads and light-guiding PC are used to realize a very small light strip isolated from the mount space.

4.The typec PCB adopts a drawer type push in installation method, which only connects to the interior of the bottom shell with very small holes. After installation, a small piece of EVA material in the box can be used to block the holes.

5.The LOGO part is embedded by cutting grooves on the outside, and only 4 screw holes are opened on the inside.

Mount

Trying to design a highly playable mount that combines a soft click and pleasant sound with excellent stability and uniformity, as well as a crisp click experience through switching.

1.Innovative Dual-Ring-Leaf-Spring mount, there are leaf-springs with the same length but staggered positions on the edge of plate and PCB,
which means that users can choose at least 3 kinds of mount, and adjust according to their preferences to get soft or balanced Even a solid tap feel and sound.

2.Two kinds of hardness silicone 16x2 hanging blocks are provided to further enhance the playability.

3.Customized PORON fills the gap at the bottom of the PCB and then covered by customized masking paper, which effectively reduces the clicking noise and the cavity sound.

4.Provide an improved PCB stabilizer quick disassemble design without disassemble the plate first, which not only facilitates the installation the stabilizer, but also tries to retain the fixing effect of the plate on the switch.
