**Intro: **
Returning Birds

Returning birds glide in the sky;
At dawn they leave the woods close-by.
Sometimes they fly far far away;
Sometimes on hazy peaks they stay.
In flights against the spring-time breeze,
They turn around to seek the perching trees.
They echo each other in songs
Amid the shadowy trees in throngs.

By ancient Chinese poet, Yuanmin Tao

**About: **
Hello everyone, I hope all of you are doing well during this unstable time. My name is Mellperbia.
Today I am brining you the latest products by CMM.Studio (藏猫猫, Hide and Seek).
Here it is, a reborn 75% kit ---- Returned Wing

If you are familiar with the design, you might see some shadows from Yellow Chicken’s half-feather design a while ago (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=101196.0). Sadly, half-feather did not come to reality. Fortunately, we were able to pick it up from where it was left off and giving the half-feather a new life. The brand-new half-feather is named as **“Returned Wing” **. The first concept is a design for Yellow Chicken himself to hit his endgame and enjoy his life. Secondly, it also means the reborn of half-feather project. We polished and perfected the half-feather and we are very proud to bring this wing to you. Let the wing guide you the path and fly among the sky!

While keeping all the original half-feather layout, front face logo weight, in order to improve the touch and feel, we almost redone the structure and make it more precise, more logical. At the same time, we also did some changes to the appearance. We bestow the wing clearer lines with back side plate.

Of course, with the new look of Returned Wing, we believe as a keyboard, it must perfect its basic task, typing. We are tremendously proud to announce our PCB partnership with Obins.lab, which designed the visual interface for Anne Pro 2. Our firmware will be supported by Obins.lab and we are thrilled to say perhaps this will be one of the most advance and mature PCB. We customized special driver, optimized features and visual interface. Undoubtedly, this PCB will meet all your expectation for a DIY mech keyboard.

**May the returned wing become a spark to your life journey, Amen**
