/* Welcome to the MIRA SE Group Buy thread! /*
MIRA is an astronomy-themed keyboard design, inspired by the Mira (also known as Omicron Ceti) binary star system in the constellation of Cetus.

(Wikipedia link.)
The MIRA logo font is inspired by a vintage NASA insignia, and the dual circle design stands for the binary star system: a red giant star and a white dwarf star orbiting each other.
Link to the original Interest Check thread.
