Story
Hi! AKI-S is the first project
that I’m fully involved in and calls are mainly made by me
(while BOCC was collaboration with a friend). I chose to use
AKI as my signature as it represents 2 of my favorite
elements, Japanese culture and Autumn. Upon entering the
custom scene, trying different kinds of layouts, I found
that 65% is the one that I find it most likable. It’s
compact, it’s packed with necessary utility that I wouldn’t
need to compromise too much by re-programming the needed
keys. In light of that, I chose to use 65% as my first
project.
As for the series code: S. It represents
another element I like the most - snowflake. This is also
the reason why the bottom weight engraving will be a
snowflake. Combining the 3 favorite elements of mine into
one, I hope this board will become something much more than
what’s given to it.
Design inspiration

I adore sleek, seamless and timeless design. Although I’m
not a car enthusiast, I’ve always liked the design of sport
cars, namely Porsche, McLaren, Lamborghini. With that in
mind, I hope to create a board that resembles the slim,
streamlined design that we can always see from sport cars,
or more precisely, luxury cars. I want this board to be
unique in terms of aesthetics, no matter its when in use -
front face, or for displaying purpose.
I opt in for a
symmetric blocker design. This means that there will be less
flexibility in customizing the bottom row because of the
fixed bottom row layout. The reason behind this is that its
all about sleek, streamlined and visually homogeneous.
Symmetric blockers seem to fit the theme better. I
understand that there will be compromises for those who use
winkey a lot. I, myself too. The bright side is that we can
always program the board to our liking!
Why no blocker, why no gasket

There have been a lot of upper right blocker 65 recently.
Although it is a great way to express the uniqueness of a
board, I’d like to spice it up and refrain from adopting the
prevalent expression; instead, I added an accent bar that is
embedded in the top case, hoping to accentuate the sport car
theme better, as if its a back-light from the rear of a
fancy sport car. To further complement the case, we will
offer a, if not several choices of stickers for you to
complement the top case with some styles.
Gasket has
been a heavily appreciated addition to the custom scene in
the recent blooming community. I personally believe that a
stronger and robust mounting system with solid case
enclosure design will help alleviate the typing experience
over adding a few gasket rubbers here and there to reduce
the possible reverbs caused from typing. And thus gasket
rubbers will not be adopted for this kit.

Possible FAQ*
Quote When are you expecting to hold this GB?
At the moment, please allow me to finish fulfilling the GB orders of BOCC. I’m holding this IC because it takes at least a month, if not months to finalize the details on everything, and at the moment, besides waiting for the factories to resume to their work stations after the coronavirus outbreak, I could only plan things ahead so I could smoothen the experience and get things done quicker when the BOCC GB is concluded. Back to the question, there is no set time frame as of now until I’m satisfied with the prototype.
Quote Can you take away the bottom left engraving?
That isn’t an engraving, instead, it’s a metallic sticker. It is an add-on that can be purchased when you joined the GB. Now we offer an option for you to choose whether you want it to be engraved onto the top case or not.
Quote Will there be full brass version?
Not at the moment. I’m pretty sure its already pretty heavy with the middle and bottom brass weight on its own.
Quote Will there be another future run for this if I missed the GB?
It depends on the reception of the board. If there is a lot of demands for the board, I’m flattered and would be happy to bring it back. -
