ABOUT
Hello everyone, this is Forest IsLand Studio. We’re thrilled to introduce a groundbreaking next-generation keyboard concept, featuring an entirely original exterior design, a proprietary internal structure, and a cotton-free design that eliminates interference from sound-dampening foam. This innovation allows you to experience a purer, unaltered acoustic profile—letting the true essence of every keystroke shine through.
Customizable Aesthetics
The ALPHA 75 features a modular design with replaceable components:
Top plate.
Left/right adjustable feet.
Front/rear bezels.
Baseplate.
Essentially, the ALPHA 75 is a customizable canvas—completely transform its appearance to match your personal style or workspace needs.

Of course, we won’t leave all the work to you. We offer multiple pre-designed styles predominantly inspired by futuristic, mecha, and sci-fi themes, with a nod to deconstructionism. Every official design features a stylized top cover and adjustable feet, ensuring cohesive aesthetics across all variants.

Why It Matters
Skip the blank canvas—our designs provide a foundation for your creativity.
Form Meets Function

Unlike any other keyboard, the ALPHA 75’s transparent or semi-transparent top plate reveals its meticulously engineered internal components as part of the aesthetic. This dual-purpose design elevates both hue precision and material finish to unprecedented levels.
Why It Stands Out
Mechanical engineering meets artistry—every gear, screw, and stabilizer is now a deliberate element of visual storytelling.
Structural Innovation

ALPHA 75 redefines the rigid architecture of traditional mechanical keyboards by centering on an aluminum alloy chassis as the core load-bearing unit, with all other components secured via precision screws. Unlike conventional designs, it employs a customized bracket system to connect the internal assembly to the central frame—a configuration named the Center Mount, which combines the stability of Top-mounted designs with the elastic advantages of Gasket mounts. By swapping different brackets, users can seamlessly switch between Rigid Center (offering crisp mechanical feedback) and Elastic Center (delivering a cushioned keystroke feel), enabling versatile adjustments tailored to personal preferences.

Ergonomics
Despite its bold, angular design, the ALPHA75 achieves an ultra-low front height (EKH) of 14.5mm—lower than the natural curvature of the human palm—paired with adjustable-angle feet to keep your wrists relaxed during extended use. Remarkably, this design eliminates the need for an external wrist rest.
