Hello everyone, this is Wind Studio. Thank you for your waiting.
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" now

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.

2.Structure
Show Image
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.
