“Beware the Onibi, for their beauty is a deadly trap, and their light a beacon to the afterlife. In the presence of these ghostly flames, one must tread carefully, lest they become another lost soul, forever wandering the night.” Designed by Serajiman, in partnership with KBDFans, Onibi is a dual mounting-style TKL keyboard with design inspiration taken from Japanese folklore. It emphasises customisation, comfort and tasteful classicism with a twist.
Design Features
Onibi is a TKL with a comfortable 6.5 degree typing angle, 18mm front height and a variety of attractive design elements, taking inspiration from Japanese folklore and architecture. The side profile was designed to somewhat resemble a Shinto shrine, apt given the namesake. Featuring beautiful variable filleted edges which, when viewed from the top, provide a distinct and alluring shape and a comfortably rounded front lip. The aim of the design was to aptly reflect the theme of Onibi – a flaming spirit that guides lost souls to the afterlife – the Shinto shrine being what I imagine their ‘natural habitat’ would be. The flaming skull is my interpretation of Onibi, and it’s presence can be seen externally and internally.
