The name of this keyboard means 'the beginning' and marks my first keyboard design.
Aesthetically I was inspired by the shape of the rowing shell and the katamaran; which manifests in curved profiles, bezels and a seamless shape reminiscent of a boats motion over water.

Please note that a 3mm o-ring was used during the build but the board is designed around a 3.5mm o-ring. When the correct o-ring size is used [as is provided in the GB] the movement of the plate side to side seen in the video isn't present
