Design Inspiration
There were two key inspirations for the Raindrop design.

The first inspiration was the aesthetics of a rainy day, this inspired the design of the board
This video captures that aesthetic perfectly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5u6Q9OExCQ&feature=share

The second inspiration was a raindrop typing sound, this inspired the mounting method and material of the plate and case
Here is the typing test again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJfpHqhRecs
