Design Elements
Nasu uses Yuktsi’s ever so
popular Alice layout. With that said it was designed as a
more modern approach to the classic Korean keyboard design.
It utilizes a seamless design thus ensuring a clean and
simple look and simplifies the process of anodizing.
Additionally the sides are inspired by the OTD Koala
keyboard as they are my personal favorite type of keyboard
sides. All these factors combined make for a minimalistic
and elegant keyboard that reminds of a simpler time in
keyboard design.
