[IC] Astelier 8 / LYRA

Astelier 8 / LYRA
Join Discord Server for updates XD

Intro

Long time no see, this is Soya.
Today, I’m introducing Astelier 8 / LYRA, which continues Violetta’s design while incorporating more retro elements.

Design Concept

I’ve always been drawn to retro designs. After Violetta, I sought inspiration from keyboards of the last century, blending early designs with modern aesthetics and craftsmanship.


In the 1980s, MSX (MicroSoft eXtended) home computers gained popularity. In 1985, MITSUBISHI released the ML-G30.
The image shows a modified version.


Appearance

LYRA retains many design elements from its predecessor: symmetrical cable outlets on the side strips, lines running through the side strips, and a weighted frame extending outward from the base. Additionally, the side strips feature an LED strip design.








Specifications
Angle: 6.5°
Front Height: 20.7mm
