Introduction
The Spectacle 80 is our next flagship release. Teaming up with KEZEWA for this release, we will be running the Spectacle 80 as an IN-STOCK product.

Following the same design philosophy as it’s predecessor, the Spectacle 80 delivers a beautifully designed experience. With symmetry and subtlety being the main focus, the Spectacle 80 is yet another stunning entry.
Design - Inspiration and philosophy
When starting the design process of the Spectacle 80 we turned to nature for inspiration.
Inspired by the elegance of butterflies, it became the main inspiration.

Continuing the 5-axis machining, loved on the predecessor, the Spectacle 80 features beautifully designed curves to accentuate it’s profile.

The design comes to life from all angles, from rear - with an elevated look, making it seem as if the board is floating - to front, with a perfect symmetry in the top and bottom half.

Combining the smooth curves, floating design, screwless exterior and the integrated seam, the Spectacle 80 is our most refined product to date.

Hey, I can assure it is not.
Alexotos built one on stream, and a viewer had the exact same concern.

Here is a clip from his VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1967938984?t=02h05m55s

Not seeing a form link or any mention of the PCB. If it's BYOPCB which ones are compatibility?

also wanted to throw in, i could see this design being nicely adapted to an Alice-style board.
