NV-70 by GDK Lab



Hello Friends!

This is Chester from KeybayTech. I would like to introduce a 70% keyboard: The NV70 by GDK Lab.

NV-70 draws its inspiration from Hyundai's 2022 concept car - N Vision 74.
A masterpiece that perfectlyblends retro charm with futuristic innovation. With its timeless silhouette and aerodynamic lines, the N Vision 74 redefined the direction of modern automotive design. Guided by the same design spirit, the NV-70 was born.






Fusion Beyond Boundaries

During the creative process, we knew that simply transplanting automotive elements into a keyboard would never work. After all, cars and keyboards differ vastly in both function and form - each serving entirely different purposes and experiences.

To make the two worlds blend seamlessly, the key lies in extracting the most iconic, soulful elements of automotive design and reimagining them through the lens of a keyboard. By integrating these details with the product’s core functionality, we allow the keyboard to retain its true essence while gaining a distinctive personality that sets it apart.






On the front layout, we reimagined the traditional 70% configuration by raising the numpad section and introducing a divider between the main area and the numpad. This adjustment creates a more balanced and visually harmonious front.

We also modified the nav cluster to allow for a swappable, customizable numpad zone - adding a new layer of creativity and playability to the overall design. You can use it as a FRL TKL or transform the right side into a numpad or other macro / function keys.

We also drew inspiration from the bold, futuristic aesthetic of Tesla’s cybertruck to design the TKL addon, incorporating automotive grille motifs and creating a mechanical, forward-looking design.







The Weight


NV70 has two different weights: Machining - Mark SS / Mirror SS





Flexible Right-side and Top case layout


The right-side cluster on the NV70 isn't just for function keys - it can also be used as a numpad, or remapped into anything you want via VIA.
Whether for work or everyday use, it will be your best keyboard.
You can also use removeable WKL blockers to get either WK or WKL layout.






Configuration


In terms of layout, both hot-swappable and soldered PCBs are supported, offering compatibility with split backspace, split left shift, split right shift, and ISO layout. It also allows switching between the right-side nav cluster and the pad zone, providing greater flexibility for different user preference.
