Futures and Specs :
[Curve]
We choose to challenge a curve ID on this keyboard, it's basic concept is from super nature buildings and super car.
and the surface meets in G3 level continuity.
the curve on the top side is been extended to perform a supporting structure like the hand rest
and also it makes the keyboard a feeling of speed.
the curve will cost far more time CNC, and it's the main cost of the keyboard.

[Screen]
we also use a 1.9 inch screen on the keyboard, and it takes the functions of date/time/typing speed test/music wave/games, etc.
Behind the screen there is a illuminated area which can show rainbow colors and breath effect , and the color can be switched on keyboard.

[Cave]
there is a cave at the back of the keyboard, which simulated the entrance of a future building.
it used two different type of illuminating effect and enhanced the layering.
also the illuminating color can be switched on keyboard.

[Gasket Structure]
we use a gasket structure on the keyboard with a bending edge plate, it make sure the plate won't touch any part of the case when gasket in.
and it makes a fantastic elastic typing feeling.
also we filled with a whole acrylic pallet and Poron pads under the PCB to cancel the hollow sound.
