UnagiIC Form:
https://forms.gle/EezQSPbK1mE1bXzeAHi, I am geo and I have been into custom keyboards for the past 3 years. I have been working on Unagi on and off for over a year and I am excited to finally post this.
Unagi was inspired by my love for the dish unadon.
It is a two piece, fixed-WKL 60% keyboard with a sanded stainless steel bottom.
I have always loved the look of machined metals (as opposed to sandblasted), however I rarely see it implemented in keyboard
designs. With Unagi, my intentions are to embrace the subtle roughness of the sanded steel rather than fight it.
Note: I have decided that the steel bottom will now have a clear coat applied to protect it.GRAY (Pantone 11C), BURGUNDY (Pantone 1817c) AND PINK (Pantone 1895u
-ish) will be offered (targeting 10 units of each).
This link:
https://bit.ly/3VB5GC9 contains pictures of color samples and other general information.
(The final gray color (Pantone 11c) will be different than the first prototype gray shown in the pictures.)
Unagi utilizes a 356mini-esque o-ring mounting system, with optional 1mm adhesive foam pads that can be placed on the top case to change sound profile if desired. (to my ear, these pads noticeably improve sound consistency while not creating a generic “foamy” sound). 70A durometer o-rings will be included as I enjoy the somewhat firm typing feel it provides, however there are many o-rings available online to experiment with if you are interested.
Typing angle: 5deg
Actual front height (EKH): 20.355mm
Built weight: ~2kg
Connection: USB-C Daughterboard
Price: Targeting Under $450
Unit count: 20-30
