Designs

About appearance: Due to the designer’s love for the layout of Alice and the rigid demand for Bluetooth connection, Kenny 42 studio designed this keyboard called Keylice. The designer believes that the Alice layout is already eye-catching enough in appearance, and the slender appearance adds a sense of softness for it, so there is no more personality elements are added.

About layout: The original intention of Keylice’s layout design is to serve more people’s demand, and users can adjust the layout according to their own needs. Therefore, on the basis of the arrangement of Chocolice, Keylice retains the middle 1U Fn key of the standard Alice layout, and adds 2.75u shift and split backspace.

Layout picture

About weight: In order to echo the bottom case, the shape of the weight has changed from the original rectangle to a trapezoid with both sides parallel to the extension of the bottom case, which can make the weight looks less dull and boring to a certain extent, and increase the sense of vitality.
