Hello again, everyone!

V80 Design

Front design
----
We've installed a dot-matrix circular LED light above the arrow keys.
We're not looking to make it overly flashy, instead,
our intention is for the lighting effect to create a soothing atmosphere for your daily use or office environment.

Side design
----
We've employed dual-cutting techniques on the V80 to enhance its side profile with a more design-oriented and customized look.

(https://imgur.com/KlaaeMD.jpg)

Back design
----
The geometric design elements and rectangular apertures maintain an overall minimalist style,
while complementing the coordinated side contours for a more three-dimensional appearance.

V80 Structure

Supports both WK and WKL layouts.

Ball Catch Structure
---
We have adopted a suitable ball catch for the keyboard case, which can be symmetrically distributed on the shell.

Magnetic Connector
---
Able to simplify the assembly process.
We customized and opened molds for the fixed silicone at both ends of the daughter board,
which were designed with limit points to stabilize the inner liner connection.

3 in 1 Mount
---
It can support PCB GASKET, Plate GASKET, and TOP mount. You can customize your keyboard structure.

Anti-collision silicone
----
It avoids the hard contact between the top and bottom cases when assembled,
significantly reducing the case's resonance and hollowness.

Silicone column
----
We have designed six specialized silicone columns around the bottom case to prevent scratches and
scuffs when you quickly disassemble the keyboard.

I have to say, this doesn't feel very original, but it is nice. I honestly can't say it's a bad thing. I hope the sales go well
