Description

Hello everyone！This is TT from OwLab.
Today we are introducing a new keyboard designed by my designer friend Nomi and me.
The origin of this keyboard is to commemorate the music band -OWL which I set up and music I loved.
We started to have this design idea in May 2020. After four months of development and modification, we set up a group buy in China in September 2020.
With good feedbacks, we decide to bring it to all friends in the customized mechanical keyboard communities around the world!
