There is something special in keyboard design, considering that such simple shapes possess so much character. I was long fascinated by this, in particular the engraved weights, which always left a strong impression on me. It truly is an elegance unique to this community. Around a year ago, I wished that keyboards would externalize this beauty, rather than hiding it underneath–that was how this project began. As a solo designer, it has been a long journey for me. — 3347 pts · 2 comments · Geekhack · Interest Checks https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=123197.0 geekhack-123197 Fri, 19 Jun 2026 12:00:00 +0000 breaking Group Buys & Vendors Keycaps & Aesthetics Geekhack · Interest Checks KKB Triumph Adler Neo SKME Discord MASJE Discord IC FORM WHY???
