INTRODUCTION 

We designed the Kitsune as a playful yet sophisticated 70% FRL-TKL keyboard, aiming to reinterpret the bold geometry of classic mechanical keyboards through modern innovation. Inspired by fox origami, its polygonal form is shaped with sharp folds and intersecting planes to express a sculptural presence and bring a sense of artistry to its case design.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY 

We set out to embrace a seamed design aesthetic, treating visual breaks as a defining part of the board’s character rather than concealing them. With this in mind, we carried a polygonal theme through every element, from the angular case to the faceted copper weight, so that each surface and edge contributes to a unified, origami-inspired vision.

Looks hefty. Will this also be.sold with a brass weight?

I see the fox - I'm in!

Do you have any regional vendors in mind?

thought of the origami tkl

[bluntkrayon]

Would love some playful colour options. An e-coat yellow or (ano or e-cot)  Hunter orange would be amazing! Also please have a LED caps lock indicator. Not fussed with brass or copper, but a coated weight would be nice as an alternative.

Definitively following! Loving the angles on this and the cherry lip!
