Before commenting on the design It would be nice to see the bottom of the board. As far as layout goes I personally love an exploded nav layout. I will say not offering 7U seems like a big miss though. Would definitely like to see that included.You're absolutely correct, I just updated the post and added the picture of what the back looks like as of right now and a side view, 7U is definitely doable! its something I can add on to my list of improvements.

Thankyou! I'm glad you liked it. There will be 2 options for the bottom it can be anodized aluminum or brass whatever the end user prefers!Before commenting on the design It would be nice to see the bottom of the board.

Just checked it out and I love the owl haha, nice clean side profile and a distinct bottom. From the render will the bottom be brass ? Looking forward to seeing more info as the project develops!
Are you sure this is not a glorious gmmk or something
None of ISO / split backspace / stepped caps support and a knob you can swap out is unique.
Having split space support but 6.25u only however is pretty different, but not in a good way.
glwic but I don't see this as something different at all. It even looks like a Monsgeek or Glorious board with something extra, and (no offense) those are not positive associations for something running as a GB.
i like the design. i generally prefer exploded layouts for 65s and 75s. exploded layouts may be more common amongst the big in-stock brands, but i don't buy from those brands so this design is interesting to me.
one thing i'd love to see is the more common 2.25u-1.25u-2.75u split space support, which i've found to be the most suitable for most people's typing styles as it presents a space bar right below the C-V keys (for left handed space bar users), a space bar right below the B-N keys (for right-handed space bar users) and a mod key right between those space bars under the B.
where are the protos?
if it's so highly customizable, where's the solder pcb?
I like the owl design! It seems like one of my favorite Pokιmon, Noctowl!Thankyou! That was the inspiration before I sketched that design haha, we ended up improving quite a lot of things on this keyboard. I plan on posting updates once I have the protos.
Just came across this and wow this keyboard looks amazing. Im not super deep into the custom keyboard world or anything, but this really caught my eye. The design looks super clean, and I love how customizable everything seems even the little details like the side accents and the knob option are such a cool touch.
Honestly, it looks like a lot of care went into making this. Definitely something Id consider picking up if it ever goes live. Super impressed!
Also, I really like the connection between the owl and the name Athena, it is such a clever nod to the goddess of wisdom.
This side profile looks clean
Love the design. This might be my first 65% keyboard if it goes live.
;DThis side profile looks clean
Thankyou! Appreciate the kind words
