Intro
Hello everyone, this is ClickClack. We're honored to introduce a new studio we have discovered -- Knock Knock Studio. The designer K&K has been obsessed with customized keyboard kits for over 10 years and has been designing keyboards for over 7 years. The name "Knock Knock" was from the movie of THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS and designer K&K's favorite movie. It is a fitting metaphor for Chris Gardner's perseverance, even when life was stacked against him.

Design

Its name, Stella, derived from the Latin word for star, encapsulates the design's ethos: to stand out in the vast universe of keyboard designs with a luminous charm. The keyboard's weight section tells a story of the night sky, where etched constellations and a dreaming face remind one of the tranquil beauty of a starlit evening.

In the front, the badge and logo are adding some accent with contrasting material. With leaf-spring mounting structure, Stella80 can provide a more even distribution of typing feedback, a reduction in typing fatigue due to its inherent 'give', and a premium, quiet sound profile.
