GuangQi 40% - The Pledge of Light
Intro
Hello everyone! Four months ago we released the IC of GuangQi40, and we didn’t expect it would be loved by so many people. Now, we are finally ready for the GB of GuangQi40. We hope you will like this mechanical keyboard inspired by the famous game Cyberpunk 2077!

Inspiration and Design
The design of the keyboard is inspired by the world-view setting of the game “Cyberpunk 2077”. To fit the worldview setting in 2077, the designer initially divided the keyboard into three versions. These three versions are also the three states of people:
-
The first versions: Natural people, without mechanical transformation, people use their flesh and blood to survive in the city. Just like most customized keyboards use metal as the main material.
Goodra (Silver Alu Case + Lemon Yellow Alu Weight)
-
The second versions: People with mechanical prosthetics. To pursue stronger strength and wisdom, people change parts of their bodies into machines through mechanical transformation. Here, just like the combination of metal and organic materials on the keyboard, you can get a richer material contrast. At the same time, just like everyone adds more functions to the keyboard, the keyboard can have more possibilities.
Deadpool 911 (Green Grey Alu Case + Red Acrylic Frosted Weight)
-
The third versions: People who digitize their consciousness. People no longer limit themselves to matter but upload their consciousness to the virtual world. Reincarnation is also the next life. The embodiment of the keyboard is to replace metal with acrylic in large quantities, just like abandoning the body.
Note: Due to production reasons, the third special edition “Afterlife” has been cancelled in this GB.
Special Edition - Afterlife (Green Acrylic Case + Yellow Acrylic Frosted Weight)
