Hi mechanical keyboard enthusiasts
Firstly, thank you all for paying attention and support to this project.
It has been more than a year of development. I am so happy to announce the official GB.



About the 8L:
This keyboard is not only for left-handed people. Why?
The left numpad lets you use the numpad and a right-sided mouse at the same time. It also frees up more space for your mouse.
The first idea, 8L is a keyboard for work, especially for those who need to input a lot of numbers on daily work, the left numpad will maximize your workflow as well as efficiency.
Our original cause is to make tools not only for you to create other greater things but also an inspiration every time you sit at your desk.
You can find more detailed information at https://viendi.co/8l/ or our Discord server for more instant interactions.

Dear everyone,
We have been busy summarizing all the orders from vendors.
We are so excited to share with you that the sale reached the maximum capped amount.
Among that, 41.5% are Shadow, 30.75% are Mist, 27.75% are Nero.

This is considered to be our first big successful step for our first project.
We are truly appreciated all the support from not only all the buyers but also everyone here who has been supporting us for all the long journey, especially even when the price went up.
We are appreciated all the vendors and partners for collaborating with Viendi on this run.

*I want to share with you the design updates we made before the GB close:
We are not satisfied with the stiffness of the current design, so we fix it.
Now, Viendi 8L is a sandwich keyboard that flex, giving you a more comfortable typing experience as well as bottom out.

*Next steps:
- Finalize all the design detail - Done
- Order final prototype before confirming the mass production - Done
- Wait for the final prototype.
- Confirm the mass production.
Sincerely,
NTN.
