BRONZE AGE

Design Idea

Z+ Studio draws inspiration from ancient bronze artifacts, incorporating modern aesthetics and optimizing the line structure based on their original forms. While preserving the original charm of the bronze patterns, the designs are tailored to fit the visual and usage preferences of contemporary individuals. The pieces exude an ancient and serene atmosphere while bursting with vitality. With a gentle touch of the fingertips, it feels as if time and space are reversed, akin to caressing the silent ancient bronze artifacts within the long river of history. They evoke a powerful sense of belief and await exploration of their fateful encounters.

This looks so nice!

Please consider a few things:
1. Add R2 Ctrl for HHKB users like me
2. Add 2x R3 1u alphas for international users
3. Add 2x R2 1u alphas for international users
4. Add 3x R1 1u alphas for international users
5. Add 1x R1 1u Fn key

2,3, 4, look here: (https://i.postimg.cc/rKc1ZYjZ/YVBHSp2-986900826.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/rKc1ZYjZ)

This will make the set usable for most of the world without specific support per language.
Of course symbols on numrow and such will not match but at least alphas will look good :-D

Thank you!

60% hhkb layout also needs 2 extra R4 1u keys, but we can use the ones from novelty set for that :-) Because it has 3x R4 1u; one for Esc far left, and two for the two far right keys.
