Background and intro

Hello Geekhack, this is Dry Studio.

If some of you still remember, we launched our first keyboard, Black Diamond 75, a couple of months ago. And we received tons of love and support. The group buy went better than expected, and we are here again with more to offer.

In case you haven't seen our project before, here is the link to our post on Makingstufftogether: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=120525.msg3175227#msg3175227
(This is the first IC post of this project)

The Carbon colorway is famous among our supporters from the last GB. After collecting ideas via IC form and within our discord, we decided to go further with it and use forged carbon.

PS： We do have a plan to do another colorway as well. Please let us know what you prefer via the IC form below
