The DD-40 is a 12.75u wide gasket mounted 40% keyboard with
an RGB LED strip sandwiched between the macro-column and
main alpha cluster. Both WKL and HHKB top cases will be
available, and the seamed design allows for a two-tone case
via available extra tops.
This board is my ideal for a
staggered 40% keyboard layout. The 12.75u main cluster gives
me the right amount of punctuation and keys to do everything
I want without an abundance of layers, while also reducing
hand travel as I type. I wanted to include a macro column
both for additional flair and as a display piece for artisan
keycaps. I thought the LED strip would also serve as a nice
visual piece and an homage to one of the board’s primary
inspirations, the TMO50.
The case design involves some
of my favorite design elements in modern keyboards - sharp
edges and a two-tone aesthetic. I think the ability to mix
and match colors unlocks a lot of potential for theming and
photography and is visually appealing, but also optional for
those who want a more minimal color palette.
The
6-point gasket system was chosen to give some slight muting
that would not necessarily come from a top-mount.
Additionally, the position of the mounting points were
meticulously chosen in order to give the keyboard an
exceptional level of consistency in both sound and feel.
