Post by: Sensitive Works on Thu, 15 January 2026, 08:42:29
Key Kobo  Angel


Greetings to you all. I am klxh, offering my profoundest wishes for a bright and inspired 2026.
Allow us to unveil the latest design from our studio——Angel.
Destruction as a Prelude to Creation

·Inspiration·
(https://i.imgur.com/VVK8ZN0.jpeg)
Inspired by the ethereal presence of angel sculptures.
This set captures the stark contrast between crumbling ruins and holy grace.
It is an exploration of ultimate fragmentation: where decay meets divinity.
·Colorway·

The primary color scheme is SITTERROT;
Alpha scheme is derived from the gray and white of fog and statues;
Mod scheme references the weathered base of a statue;
The gold-toned Greek lettering emphasizes the texture of light;
The novelties elements are based on the image of Greek angels,
referencing angelic rings and the famous painting "The Creation of Adam".
·Kitting·
*Greek Legend are all crafted using a premium UV-printing process

Because this Kit is called Alpha rather than 60.

I'm not even a fan of purple/violet sets and this piqued my interest. GLWIC

I really like the colors on this and latin/spacebar kits are nice I'd pick those up. No plans for basic 40s support?

It's a bit of a shame that the desk mat's design is really lovely, yet it ends up being completely hidden under the keyboard

what's controversial about this lol.

btw unikeys ships to europe with duty prepaid and incredibly low fees. most times it's cheaper than having an actual EU vendor so I don't see why complaining about it.
it's way worse when they group up UK and EU and we have to shell out the DHL bribe
