update v2.0We are really grateful for all your patience and support, we believe all those will be meaningful. We made several improvements in the last three months,:
The improvements on structure and appearance:
1. We lowered the screw column by 1mm, and the installation method is simpler and there won’t be any affects on the shaft body while the screw is invisible.
2. The upper shell surface is raised by 1mm as a whole, which further avoids the exposure of the shaft body.
3. We have customized new SCM435 grade 12.9 torx screws to adapt the high-intensity disassembly and assembly.
4. Regarding processes of the surface treatment, we have further reduced the fit gap, we successfully make it looks more refined.
5. After many times of communication with the factory, the designing for the front section of the upper shell has been restored as well, making it more interesting.
6. With standard titanium alloy logo, players can burn their favorite logo colors.
7. New mold-opening silicone sleeve replaces the original viscose poron strip, making the installation much more convenient.
8. The new positioning plate is slotted, so you do not need to adjust it after installation and the keycap is naturally centered.
9. The hole adjustment of the Enter key makes the Orion87 compatible with more pcb satellite axes.
The improvements on PCB:
1. Customized connecting cables are used and it is more convenient for repeated disassembly and assembly.
2. We replace the battery socket with zh1. 5mm2pin specification, so you can easily buy a suitable battery.
3. A dedicated battery power switch is added.
4. We used unified brushing needle port, so you only need to open the space bar if there is a need for brushing, the operation is so easy!
5. The circuit impedance is also optimized and adapt to more types of type-c data lines.
6. The antenna design is optimized to improve the wireless signal quality by 30%.
The improvements on firmware:
1. We get the hardware architecture and its supporting firmware redesigned.
2.We avoided the bluetooth bug of win10 and 11 systems, and solved the problem that the Windows system cannot pair again after deleting the bluetooth.
3. It will provide more and interesting RGB lighting effects.
4. The logic of keyboard sleep wake-up is optimized. In automatic sleep method, just click the space bar to wake up. It becomes more power saving and convenient.
5.Bluetooth power adaptive
6.Bluetooth real -time switching speed up
7.Automatic Bluetooth anomaly detection and unbinding
8.New Bluetooth nkro scheme
9.Keyboard startup speed increased
What else have we done besides the above improvements:
1. The structure, appearance, PCB and software system of the keyboard have been comprehensively tested according to the standard of mass-produced keyboards.
2. Quality of all materials has been strictly inspected.
3. We designed and produced more accessories for Orion87. The sandblasted copper counterweight, compatible with Dopele pcb, FR4 positioning board and steel plate satellite axis positioning board will be produced in the future, to make it more playable.
4. The Orion pad keyboard with the same style common receiver as the orion87 is being developed.
5. The usb-hub for the desktop center of orion87 is planning to be designed.
6.We have provided an attached manual, hoping that the players who get it can use it more easily
Here we appreciate all the players for your support and love, and please kindly provide us more feedback or suggestions to get improved.

Hi, everyone,
this is Kevin from kindlestar studio.
Here we want to introduce our new project ORION87,hope all of you will fall in love with it.
Welcome to your active comments.
Exploring the outer space can be such an amazing and charming thing, and our future is also tied to the outer space.
The explosion of the outer space starts from observation, Radio Telescope, whose shape is also attractive, takes a great role.
Based on these aspects, we designed Orion.

About ORION-87
When designing Orion, we used many golden sections to make its shape more natural and exquisite
and all the lines and blocks could make sense.
For the connection between the upper&lower shells and the counterweight,
we make it interspersed with two corners,
which brings it a sense of formality.
Hereby, we think it Form is the function.
In the past November, orion87 has been shipped in the Chinese market.
We have received various feedback. Players have a good evaluation of its hand feel and sound performance.
Of course, the workmanship of the product has also been highly praised. ===============================================================================
