Hello everyone,
This is Spooknik from Keyboard Collective. I have a design for a 65% keyboard design that I’d like to do an interest check for.
It’s called the 651 Keyboard. 65% + First design = 651.
Please fill out the IC form here.


About
The 651 is based on Scandinavian Modern Movement of design. It emphasizes a minimalism and simplicity combined with functionalism and aesthetics. I’d done my best to incorporate all of these traits into the 651 Keyboard.

  • Simplistic - Large bezel that is equal distance the whole way around.
  • Minimalism - There are no outward facing logos, branding, screws, or seams. No unnecessary curves, fillets, or chamfers. Everything you need nothing you don’t.
  • Functionalism - The side profile has cutouts that allow the user to pick up and move the keyboard easily. Large chamfer protects edges from damage. All parts are held together by the same length M3 screws.
  • Aesthetics - Modern and simple looks that will stay timeless for years. The bezel and large chamfer allows a better transition between your desk and keycaps. Heavy and solid board.
    I’ve written a small articleabout my design philosophy if anyone cares to read it.
