Evolv
Designed By Alpha Studio
Welcome to the Evolv2, and evolution of a crazy idea.
Read
the post below OP for information about the design
philosophy behind the revision.
**IC FORM:
https://forms.gle/1xVWXXrjzgP9LGRDA*The Arrows
Beginning with the layout, the Evolv opts for a
1.5u right shift over the 1.75u shift widespread in
blocked 75 layouts.
By doing so, the arrows line up
neatly with the right mods, allowing for a continuous .25u
bezel.
The Rotary Joystick
In the upper-right corner of the board, utility
wins the battle over aesthetics.
No badges or logos;
instead, the Evolv features a design evolution to the
knob: the rotary joystick.
With users able to assign
macros to five unique positions/
and rotation, the Evolv packs functionality in a small
space.
The Back
A teaser to what’s inside the board, the bottom piece
of the keyboard is a stunning visual accent.
Created
through a process known as generative design, the Evolv can
support a truck without breaking, all while looking
fantastic.
The Plate
Render pending, the Evolv redesign will still feature a
generative plate, however, it will be available as an
extra during GB
The Assembly
To top off the design, the Evolv features no visible
seams or screws once assembled.
