The pointless just got pointlesser.


specs/features:

Inspired by Blacksimon's is0, and also the OGR/2 by AKB (if you didn't buy one, you're dead to me)
10° typing angle, perfected in 1984 and never questioned since
Full 6063 aluminium case + polycarbonate plate
Bead-blasted, anodised, and scientifically proven to look expensive
Top-mounted plate, to type harder
Fits most desks
QMK compatible USB-C PCB by Cipulot, with VIA/VIAL support
Said PCB is a hybrid and hotswap, compatible with both regular MX switches, and also EC Naevies
5 colours to choose from (+ a special mystery version)
0.0001 tons
13 screws for just one key Now with 15 screws!!! jesus christ
With tapdance you could probably make this pos do anything
Still a keyboard of all time

This is exciting!  :p

Is the Mystery color just a random selection of one of the 5, or is it a complete mystery?
