A sculptural, semi-transparent split keyboard blending CNC precision with organic form.



WHAT IS ENSO-E?

Enso-E is a split, sculptural keyboard inspired by Zen minimalism and the concept of the ensō — a hand-drawn circle symbolizing balance, simplicity, and enlightenment. Designed for comfort and clarity, it blends organic curves with precision-milled geometry to create a natural typing experience that feels both grounding and refined.

Every detail, from the smooth top contour to the subtle symmetry between halves, reflects a pursuit of functional harmony and timeless form.

    The Titan is the most exclusive and uncompromising edition of the Enso-E. Every CNC-machined metal component, including both plate offerings, is crafted from premium titanium alloy for exceptional rigidity, resonance, and longevity.

    Its top shell is milled from a solid block of acrylic, meticulously hand-polished to a crystal-clear finish, then dyed to achieve a rich brown-amber hue.

    Limited to just 50 units via preorder, each Titan is individually serialized and undergoes a rigorous multi-step QC process, including detailed inspection by Clever and Omnitype to ensure the highest standards of precision and craftsmanship.

    A true collector’s piece, the Titan stands apart from the rest.

      Beautiful board. Does "[f]our launch colorways" mean that the standard board will be available for purchase somehow from the various regional vendors following the fulfillment of the group buy?

      To anyone considering the Titan version:

      Be honest with yourself.... it won’t make you feel special or validated. The “exclusive,” “collector’s piece,” and “rigorous multi-step QC” framing is doing the selling. If you like the board, buy the cheaper version and keep the rest, invest it, save it, or spend it on someone you care about.  :-*

      pictures are 3u spacebars but it supports 2u + 1u(1u on the inside towards the center of the board)
