After a long time of prototype-testing and modification, we finally officially launched the GB.
From the Less, but better keycaps GB in 2021 to now in 2023, we have experienced various help from experts to finally create this small 40-key keyboard.
Design intention:
At that time, the design was intended to match the Less, but better keycaps.
Originally, we simply referred to Rams' work for design inspiration, but as a Sony fan,
I unconsciously incorporated some elements of the Sony TPS Walkman and tried to blend them in appropriately with Rams' work.

Before using Phase one ,
I had been using a 40 - key keyboard myself.
However, because I had already used many layers,
it was difficult to add media functions.
Therefore, the TPS40 added a rotary knob and a right-side button,
which I really wanted at the time. Originally,
I wanted to make three, but due to structural reasons,
the current design has two micro switches that are used to switch Bluetooth devices.
Through discussions in the group,
we also made the soldering PCB into a Bluetooth hot-swappable design,
with straight and staggered options.
The straight version was designed with my personal preference of a double 2u spacebar.[/size](https://i.imgur.com/5hkqJfQ.png) (https://i.imgur.com/5YazDLv.png)
The narrow border design also includes a Poron+spring leaf on the bottom to provide a certain
soft and bouncy feel.
