GROUP BUY IS LIVE!
First of all, I’d like to thank everyone in the community for your support and feedback during the IC.
After a period of preparation and testing, today I’m very pleased to officially open the Group Buy for HELIOS 88. This is not merely a product—it’s a project into which I have poured great care and effort, from the initial sketches all the way to holding the final prototype in my hands.
Throughout that process, I received many suggestions and contributions from members of the community, and it is precisely those inputs that have helped the project become more refined. With that in mind, I hope this Group Buy will not only bring the product into your hands, but also serve as an opportunity for HELIOS 88—and my future projects—to truly find their place and contribute greater value to the community.
Thank you all very much!

Hello everyone, I'm happy to present my first keyboard—A personal project featuring a subtle sun motif, crafted with care, attention to detail and manufactured by Kezewa. The design incorporates an integrated sun pattern that adds a distinctive touch without overwhelming the overall aesthetic, paired with a compact tenkeyless (TKL) layout that is both practical and streamlined, making it ideal for various workspaces. Refined over two prototype iterations and built with a traditional top-mount assembly, this keyboard aims to deliver reliable performance for both newcomers and seasoned users alike. I look forward to receiving your feedback and appreciate your time in reviewing my work. Thank you for reading!
