Real Shots & Design Details

We've used a new gradient ink - "Champagne Gold Fade", where the frontal appearance gives a smooth champagne color, but with a change in perspective, the metallic ink gradually reveals itself.
The Drama platinum base color uses a cold white that matches most pure white sets available on the market.

Inspiration & Design Concept

Now let's delve into the detailed design. To enhance the content design, the designer divided Drama into two "scenes":
One side is extremely simple and elegant, while the other is rich and bustling. The designer handed over the design to me to implement the craftsmanship, so I placed most of the content patterns on the side and kept only the patterns of the Enter and directional keys on the front.

The side patterns of "Drama" are inspired by the legendary literary figure of the Renaissance, Shakespeare. His legendary experiences and literary legacy signify the brilliant achievements of that golden age. Many of his words have left behind countless classic phrases, and these phrases are reflected in various patterns on "Drama" now:

The crown comes from "Henry IV, Part 2", Act 3, Scene 1: "Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown."
The scales come from the famous story in "The Merchant of Venice", Act 4, Scene 1, where the greedy and vengeful Shylock places 3000 coins and a pound of flesh on the conscience's "scale": "pound of flesh."
The clock at 12 o'clock comes from "Hamlet", Act 3, Scene 2: "the witching time of night."

The engraved words on the left and right come from "Hamlet", Act 3, Scene 1, this one is too classic, so we placed it in the most conspicuous position: "To be or not to be: that is the question."
The elegant patterns on the sides of 1.25U and 1.5U control at the bottom left and bottom right give them a layered look when viewed from the side.

Not all individual patterns are crammed on the sides; we also reserved 6+5=11 1U individual pattern keys for customers who prefer some content on the front.
This is the schematic diagram of all individual keys engraved on the front and side:

Key Layout & Compatibility

The new PBT material thickness is 1.7+, the mold keys support many niche layouts with:
- Four 40S keys,
- 1U spacebar finds a home for many split spacebar users with the middle R1 replacement key,
- Two 3U saves a group of babies using a particular set,
- Even two blind spots are provided for a deeper concave and blind spot-free R21U keys,
- 40S customers can also request three 2U spacebars for their weird kits!

Originally, we wanted to split these less commonly used kits for niche users, but later found that a sufficient number of each key had been produced during injection molding, so we simply added all of them to the full set, without increasing the price!
