Hello everyone, this is Wind Studio. Thank you for your waiting.WIND Xlice Update is a design upgrade for the high-end mechanical keyboard line from the WIND brand. This update refers to 3 different layouts:
It has been 7 months since the last IC(alice+pad), today we bring you a new update. During this time, we have been testing the internal structure and collecting more opinions.
Finally, we have confirmed the appearance design and decided to choose a simpler and more durable no-forehead design and provide southpaw option.
We called it " Xlice" nowShow Image(https://imgur.com/RhWRGMA.png)
The previous IC link： https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=123946.0
I.Appearance
The front of the keyboard is decorated with the Xlice "X" logo badge at the bottom, combined with the grid badge as a nameplate for splicing design.
RGB lights are added to the gaps and caps indicator light with long strip badge are added near the numpad.
The grid badge/caps light badge material can be stainless steel mirrowed pvd or titanium material.Show Image(https://imgur.com/vRlA9XN.png)Show Image(https://imgur.com/divJvw2.png)
The side still uses the classic contrast color designShow Image(https://imgur.com/zIH917X.png)
The back uses a grille-shaped weight bar, matches the different materials of the bottom case,create a more layered look.
We provide three material weight bars: brass, copper, and brass spray-coated black.Show Image(https://imgur.com/lks94NX.png)
2.StructureShow Image(https://imgur.com/LXp9ToT.png)
Adopt split pcb,support leaf-spring mount and top mount, the typing and feeling is stable and solid feel
-leaf-spring mount
By adding silicone gasket nail buffer structure in the contact gap between the positioning plate and the leaf spring,
it can provide a softer input experience while absorbing the vibration of the leaf spring, thereby improving the overall sound performance of the keyboard.Show Image(https://imgur.com/Z2qm9Ia.png)
