Moment - 60% Keyboard
After
over a year in IC, it surprises me that this project still
is one of my favorite boards in typing feel and sound. Let’s
get it moving…

Introduction & Inspiration
More
Moment, previously known as Phase, was my first foray into
custom keyboard design in September 2020. Though I often
find myself scrapping designs and abandoning ideas, it’s
been pretty noteworthy that Moment has managed to survive
this long. Cloudline took precedence over this design last
year due to clear demand in the layout and the hovering
uncertainty regarding the MOQ of a 60% from a no-name
designer. Now that the F13 TKL design has been accounted
for, and my self-fulfilled limited run of Moment is nearing
completion, it makes sense to redirect my sights on this
project (that being said, I do happen to have another 60% in
the works / lined up… IYKYK).
In 2020, as I
continued to fall into the seemingly-bottomless hole of
mechanical keyboards, I seemed to struggle to find something
that I loved 100%. The Leaf 60 was one of my favorite
designs from an aesthetic standpoint - the multi-axis curved
side profile, the smooth and flowing design really was
striking and just a joy to touch. However, the typing feel
was just not quite up to par, I found myself loving the
bounciness of boards like the Polaris and IDB60. So I
decided to create something with a side profile I loved,
along with the typing feel I loved.
I initially themed
this board around the word “Phase” - as keyboards, much like
headphones, hifi audio, knives, fountain pens, seemed to
just be another phase for me. I’d be obsessive for a year or
two or three, and before I know it I’d be ogling over
something completely different. It featured a moon phase
insignia beneath the USB port. After a while, a naming
conflict came up and I decided to transition the project
over to a new name - Moment. I found the idea of
opportunities, chances, and time to be super relevant to
this project and in how things have panned out over the past
couple years - how my love for creating new and unique
designs really have branched out just from some decisions
made in a single Moment.
In summation, here are the goals kept in mind while
fleshing out this design:
Curves, a nice side profile
-
Cues that identified it / made it unique
Reasonably heavy
Softer typing feel
-
