Description

Hello everyone, I'm Josh from OF Studio. It is my first time posting here.

Recently, I've been struggling with the uneven thickness of the keyboard's border in terms of visual appearance. Also, changing the layout requires purchasing an additional keyboard cover, and even some group purchases don't offer the option of an additional layout cover. The trouble of having a well-tailored keyboard for myself made me feel frustrated. The experience that I had inspires me to create a keyboard that perfectly meet my needs.

The renderings are as follows:

So far, I plan to disassemble the upper cover into separate parts, so that replacing the components only requires replacing the corresponding ones.
In terms of the design, simple geometric lines are used to combine various materials, making the overall structure relatively simple and tough. Most of the product weights are composed of brass parts and stainless steel parts. Due to the ultra-thin design of the frame, the overall visual effect of the product appears very delicate and refined, but it feels quite heavy when held in hand. (I am eager to hear any suggestions/advice/feedback from you! I can make improvement then!)
