Intro
Hello everyone, it's ClickClack, running yet another Percent Studio creation! I am very happy to be able to present our new work to everyone.
Let's talk about the Platinum series. Platinum is a very precious and rare metal, which is also why it is used to describe various achievements such as a singer's record sales reaching one million copies. So, when we decided to name our new series, we wanted it to convey elegance, simplicity, and nobility, just like the precious metal. We wanted it to be an artistic piece on your desk, and also our best work in terms of design and craftsmanship.
Thus, the PT990 was born, with its smooth and gentle lines that complement its flat and sharply defined design. This keyboard is currently the best design that Percent can offer. But just like platinum, there is never a 100% pure, flawless perfection.
Design
▼ The PT990 continues Percent's minimalist style, using G2 variable chamfers in almost all corners to create a warm, visible metal finish.
▼ There are a total of three badges on the PT990. Several patterns in the following picture have been tentatively decided, and they will be modified based on the preferences of the purchasing players in the future.
▼ The PVD aluminum weight is available in silver, gunmetal, and gold. Stainless steel PVD, stainless steel brushed, and sandblasted copper are also available as options.
Structure
▼ The inner structure of PT990 uses Owlab's highly innovative beryllium copper structure. It employs 8 custom-molded beryllium copper leafspring tabs to provide support for the entire inner structure, resulting in a very soft and responsive feel.
▼ Together with their proprietary switch dampeners, the keyboard produces a very high-quality audio experience, comparable to that of a high-fidelity audio system. This design innovation significantly improves the keyboard's overall performance compared to those with conventional inner structures.
PCB and Layouts
▼ The entire PCB is also designed with per-switch slots to ensure a soft and responsive feel. The layout is fixed because we only provide hotswap PCB this time. A non-flexcut PCB will also be offered however!
