Ex Arkhe - F13 o-ring TKL - Vendors announced; GB Date June 14th

Ex Arkhes - TKL



After buying a few too many keyboards I wanted to design something myself. The name is in recognition of that; meaning literally "borne of the beginning", and marks my first keyboard design.
Aesthetically I was inspired by the shape of the rowing shell and the katamaran, which manifests in curved profiles, bezels and a back/top piece reminiscent of a boats motion over water.
