Aquila

Aquila is a 60% wireless mechanical keyboard featuring an ultimate minimalist design and our proprietary tri-mode wireless solution.

Layout and Design
Aquila adopts a 60% compact layout with 3U spaces on both sides, creating an unparalleled visual balance. After multiple comparisons and adjustments,
we have determined the most reasonable and aesthetic aspect ratio. Aquila has the same length as a 104-key keyboard but is narrower, which will not cause
adaptation issues or mouse compatibility problems. The only consideration may be desk space.

Wireless Connectivity
Aquila is equipped with our proprietary tri-mode wireless solution which strengthens signal stability through a
separate external antenna design.
This solution has been continuously improved through feedback from Orion87 users to provide a fast, lag-free experience.

Specs:
•Name: Aquila
•Modes: Wired, Bluetooth 5.2, 2.4G Wireless
•Size: 430x120x24-32mm 6.5 degree
•Material：Aluminum 6063
•Weight: 2.5kg
•Gasket mount + poron+PE
•VIA support
•RGB backlighting with 26 million colors
•Hot-swappable switches
•4000mAh battery

We are looking for a vendor partner. If you are interested in representing Kindlestar products, please contact me
Check out Aquila's color matching below for more details. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any clarification.
We aim to highlight Aquila's key features and design innovations to garner interest from Geekhack members and input for continued improvements.

its more like a 66 layout, which i appreciate because the 65 has been recreated so many times in the last few years. this is at least a fresh perspective

stewfayew · « **Reply #5 on:** Wed, 03 May 2023, 16:55:58 »

It's the opposite of minimal. Its unique aesthetic appeal is in its excessive width and oversized knob. And there's nothing minimal about three layers of foam.

Weak marketing, neat board.

The conventional 65% layout is characterized by its compactness. Aquila explores the perfection of proportions. It does not affect usability yet decorates the desktop sufficiently

Thanks for the information, I will try to figure it out for more.

I would really like to see a solderable PCB. That's basically my 1 must have these days.

This is really cool. It's refreshing to see a concept that's different than the status quo. Would love to buy if the price is achievable.

What's the sound profile like on this thing?

Put a can holder on it to fit a 12oz and you have me sold.

It has nothing to do with Aquila, which is characterized by the blank areas on both sides

Very tempted but apparently Alexotos is having issues with doubletyping etc with the 2.4ghz connection.

Do you think this will be fixed for launch?

Also, is there an option for the badge at the bottom to be blank (without the logo)?

Thank you for your attention. signal difference can lead to doubletyping. The aluminum shell has a shielding effect on signals. We solve this problem through an independent antenna. If there is doubletyping, we can adjust the receiver position to solve this problem. This technology has been widely used in the Orion87 project and I often use it to play games. In addition, Bluetooth's doubletyping will be much more than 2.4g. We recommend using 2.4g mode

wongie · « **Reply #41 on:** Thu, 17 August 2023, 12:27:44 »

Now this is a beautiful minimalist design, and when i say minimalist I mean the aesthetic style of minimalism (Too often I find people confusing something utilitarian as minimalist) with its wide open faces reminiscent of architecture and buildings that uses this philosophy on their wide open walls and surfaces. Reminds me of the Exent 65 and while i prefer its layout without a blocker I do love the the sharper angularity of this design more.

The design is exactly what I wanted for a wireless mechanical keyboard. The color is simple but very youthful and luxurious, in the long run will not be out of fashion. Great, excellent, wonderful.
