Hello everyone, I’m Nguyen Hieu Truong, the admin of VNMK - the largest mechanical keyboard community in VN with more than 30k active members. Today I would like to introduce you to Project VN66, a custom keyboard that strive to represent our small community.


UPDATE IC FORM: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1xxZ_eujOnJVODijy-GaFk-BKF4S1FWOCfSq4cd5zH4Q/
DESIGN: This keyboard is heavily inspired by Apple M0110 keyboard as it was manufactured during the late 80s which coincide with when most of our community members were born. We strived to create a modern rendition of a classic design, with liberal use of angle and curve to create a clean and sleek look for a keyboard with large bezel. Furthermore, we applied Fibonacci sequence to the aspect ratio, resulting in a design that will age very well.

Artkey is designing a one-off design exclusively for those who join the group buy. It will be based on the story of “Carp
turning into Dragon”.
Here are the final products, representing the process of the carp on top transforming into a dragon. On top of its head is
a water hyacinth leaf, one of the symbols of the Vietnamese waters. The name Carpagon is a combination of “carp” which
means carp, and “agon” for “dragon”.

    Please let me know your feedbacks, I’m especially looking for ideas regarding weight design and the Plus area. Cheers!
