Intro
Hello everyone, I've been in this hobby for over four years now and my favourite aspect is the ability to really make a keyboard your own. The extensive DIY nature
of this hobby is amazing, and I've always enjoyed learning more about how things work. One of the things I explored early on was how to create PCBs from Gondolindrim and
Mr.Keebs, this allowed me to bring older keyboards back with USB Type C. Slowly I started to learn about CG rendering and the intricacies of case design, and the beginnings of
my first keyboard design were taking place (and a macro pad, but we'll talk about that later ). Since this was a personal project and I was self-funding it, I decided to take a safer
approach and not rush anything. The first prototypes arrived in August 2022, ever since I've switched to using it exclusively on a daily basis, and it's a very comfortable typing
experience. Since then, I have been working hard to get all the other details regarding this keyboard design ready, so that others can enjoy it as well. New prototypes are almost
finished machining and should arrive in a few weeks, which will be shared with a few creators to show off.

I'm happy to finally share details of this long project of mine, System_65.

Variants (for initial sale)
These variants were chosen for the first sale because they match most keycap sets well. I understand that to some people
these options may seem “boring”, but it's only the initial sale that will be limited to these variants to ease QC & fulfillment.
There will be more variants available in the future. (You can suggest cool color/material variants in the feedback form)

I’ve been following this project for quite a while now and am excited to see it get closer to the sales.
I think the Blush Rouge colorway looks amazing! Might have to wait for the gb for it though.
GLWIC!

Hey thanks for following along, it means a lot to me.

I also want to make it clear that if a GB is confirmed, all variants that would be available for the GB will have prototypes prior to the start of the GB.
Not sample pieces of scrap materials with the required finishing, but actual working prototype keyboard builds.
I have no intention of making something for sale that hasn't been tested.

Design looks really unique. Any updates on this one?
