STORY
Since way before joining and finding the world of custom keyboards, I’ve been using a TKL. The Corsair K65 was for a long time my daily keyboard. Until today, the TKL layout is still my preferred and favorite layout. Seeing the possibilities and variations as the iconic WKL and different blocker options, my interest in the layout grew even more.
With the “OBJ.140”, my goal is to bring a classic TKL to the community. I decided to honor the classic design with a lot of inspiration coming from the OTD 356CL while still having an identity of its own. It may look very similar to other TKL’s out there, but that’s what you get.
True and tested classic TKL.
I played a wargame called “World of Tanks” back in 2010 - 2017, before it became more and more of a “pay to win”. It’s a fun game, and it piqued my interest in tanks. The name “Obj.140” is taken from the Soviet medium tank “Object. 140” it was a tank developed from 1953 to 1958 in Nizhny Tagil, Russia to replace the famous T-54 medium tank. Two prototypes were completed before the project was cancelled in 1958 in favor of the "Object 430" Project.
But the tank in the game was and still is one of the most fun tanks to play in for experienced pro players. It has a low profile with a elegant look. The damage per shot was not high like it rival tanks from other nations in the same tier, it had a decent armor, you could often get lucky with it if you knew how to handle the armor angles to bounce the shots. The "OBJ.140", made it up with the great gun handling, accuracy on the move and the reload time on the gun with around 5 seconds, which means you had high damage per minute gun, it was made to farm your enemies once they where spotted for you by your allies.
So as a tribute to those many hours spent driving a tank using my trusty Corsair K65 TKL, I bring you the “Obj.140”, a tank of a TKL.
