SISYPHUS65 - GB OPEN

Designed by Maniac Rabbit Studio

Intro
Greetings keyboard friends.
This is Velocifire team. After months of preparation, we are trilled to tell you that the GB of Sisyphus65 is live now! Thank you so much for supporting this project so far. You can learn all the information about this keyboard from this post, including the newly launched premium version (SE version), all vendors and updated reviews, without further ado, let’s take a look.

Designs
Our vision for the Sisyphus 65 was to create a visually appealing keyboard that draws inspiration from the absurdist tale of Sisyphus, a well-known ancient Greek myth. Our aim was to achieve a sophisticated design that is easily recognizable due to its uniqueness. To pay homage to the dystopian hero, we have incorporated contoured lines on the keyboard that depict the hill and the boulder. The PVD stainless steel column represents the weight of the boulder, while the straight lines on the main part of the case top represent the hill. Moreover, we have included the Morse code "C L I M B" on the top of the keyboard, a word that is used repeatedly in the Sisyphus story. Additionally, we have used dichroic anodizing on the front of the keyboard and the metal badge to add to its charm and character.
Overall, we are confident that the Sisyphus 65 will capture your imagination and leave you enchanted with its exquisite design and attention to detail.

New Keyboard Version
Just as Sisyphus was condemned to endlessly push a boulder up a hill, designers must continue to refine and improve their creations, never truly reaching a final destination. The SE version of our keyboard embodies this eternal pursuit of excellence.

What is the difference between the SE version and the standard version?

1. The default cylinder weight of the SE version is a black crack style not PVD.

2. The chamfers around the keyboard case of the SE version are processed into gold or silver via Dual-color Anodized process, which is more noble and elegant, and visually improved.

I love that Ice blue color! If there is a limit of 300 units, does that mean if it will automatically close when 300 people order it?
