Appearance

From the beginning, we wanted to create a simple and elegant keyboard with a good typing experience. By constantly adjusting the aspect ratio of the overall shape and the thickness of the frame, it was finally determined:The left and right frames are slightly thinner than the top and bottom frames, and the corners of the four sides are R2 fillet, making the turning point appear softer. The bottom weight consists of a large area of PVD stainless steel and a diamond-shaped transparent e-coat brass badge.

Comfortable feel of case

A low price for us doesn’t mean we compromise on materials or workmanship. Relying on a strong supply chain, we still use 100% Full CNC 6063 aluminum, and adopt our last well-received DolphinS75 case coating process, which can definitely let you experience a silky smooth touch feel !

Consistent typing experience

We did not use the plate gasket mount. Instead, the poron pad between PCB and plate is used to replace the existing bottom case gaskets by extending and lengthening. Meanwhile, a 2mm plate poron pad is added on the plate to replace the top case gaskets. Therefore, the force point is evenly distributed, it can obtain a very consistent typing experience. At the same time, this mount can greatly reduce the cumbersome process of assembly.
