The Queen: Sandwich Mounted HHKB at a great price.
(https://imgur.com/PZ0jhO9.jpg)
Inspiration:
I loved the design of the Mode65, and I am a huge fan of the HHKB layout. I wanted to make a very simple aluminum HHKB keyboard that didn't cost a fortune. Most aluminum HHKB boards are expensive, and if you want a budget one you have to sacrifice features. The goal of The Queen is to make a super elegant and simple HHKB board that doesn't compromise quality or sound while also coming it at a very reasonable price.
Specs:
Case material: 6063 Aluminum
Typing angle: 6.5°
Mount: Sandwich
Colors: E-White, Black, Silver, Gray
Plate:Fr4
