Mask Off Keyboard

So what's the story behind Mask Off?
After a break from designing keyboards since the Vanguard65, I found myself drawn back by a wave of inspiration: from the sharp edges of brutalism, to the neon glow of cyberpunk, and the clean lines of futuristic designs.

Most importantly, I felt the hobby needed shaking up again.
While at a local meetup, I was hearing the general consensus that the state of keyboards were starting to blend together only strengthened that feeling.

So here I am on a mission to showcase another custom keeb that provides a personalized experience to add to the keyboard collection.

Mask Off (MO), is a keyboard kit that serves both minimalism aesthetics to fit any modern day environment.

Why the name Mask Off?

The internals of a keyboard are hidden inside its aluminum shell. My goal was to design a keeb that reveals its one true self, to represent the activity occurring beneath.

This interest check is intended for you to help out with the following:

• Include foam dampening kit?
• ISO support for my Euro friends?
• Poll to boil color option for a limited edition version.
• Add-on plate material options
• Bluetooth support?
