In addition to the weight, the surface technology of Hercules80 is also more elegant electrostatic powder spraying. Although spraying glitter powder is not a very special process for the custom keyboard at present. But for our keyboard, the average thickness of the powder exceeds 20 μm, and it feels dry to the touch, which is a relatively representative powder-sprayed surface.
If you know and love powder spraying. There is a big chances that you'll love it. Unfortunately, maybe our shooting skills are not enough, so the texture presented in the photos is far inferior to the real thing. I believe that the physical performance will surprise everyone.
In terms of embellishment, we have also put more thought into it. Three different processes are used on the front. Anodes and powder spraying are used to enhance the texture, and high-gloss lines are added to the inner and outer frames of the panel, which enhances the overall noble temperament.
The back will be relatively complicated, we use mirror PVD+titanium anode. It can be regarded as a show of craftsmanship. The titanium finish is the main delay of this keyboard. We don't want the increase of craftsmanship to stop at simple stacking, but the more effective sublimation of the theme is the meaning. Use a set of patterns that fit the theme. It just like slowly unfold it in front of everyone like a parchment to tell you the myth of a long time ago.
I won’t go into too much detail, you can basically see it in our previous posts, and I will release the link to the previous post below:
Structural Analysis IC:
[IC] Heracles 80 TKL/Keyboard Image Update (geekhack.org)
First, Kit information
Layout: 80%TKL(87 keys)
Keyboard structure: Gasket Mount
Keyboard angle: 7 degrees
PCB: 1.2mm single key slotted immersion gold PCB (support via editing)
Keyboard material: 6063 aluminum (counterweight 316 stainless steel + TA2 titanium alloy)
Keyboard front height: 17.3mm
There are three colors in total:
Starry Night: The dark powder-sprayed surface looks like twinkling stars in the dark under the blessing of glitter powder. So we named him Starry Night.
Holy Light: warm ivory white with desecrated gold panels. Coupled with the embellishment of the high-gloss lines on the panel, it looks like a noble goddess and is very desirable. These characteristics lead us to name it Holy Light.
Black Knight: The upper and lower covers are pure black. Black panels with silver highlights, plus black PVD. At the beginning of the project, we always wanted to create a special color scheme, tried a lot, and finally settled on the black warrior. After all, which one can refuse a handsome Black Knight?

Anyone who knows us well knows that we like to do joy things, and this time was no exception.
We have designed a very interesting addition, a pair of fists that can be assembled on either side of the counterweight - the Hercules Fist.
Made of pure copper, the whole process is CNC processed, the process is time-consuming, so there are only 10 sets, and those who are interested can buy more.
