After 1.5 years of development, we are proud to
present our new project: Ziggurat (XT 65% keyboard)
Ziggurat 65XT is influenced by ancient temples in
Mesopotamia. Nowadays, Ziggurats can be seen as ancient
temples, modern architectural works, and have even inspired
futuristic designs, such as Blade Runner. The Ziggurat
symbolizes opulence, power, and shared common vision to
unite us all.
The idea was to create a keyboard that
prioritizes a bouncy typing experience, clean acoustics, and
a design language that would look great, even back in 3000
BC.

1.2 or 1.6 PCBs will be
offered on the base kit, with their respective gasket
thicknesses included with each PCB. As well as daughterboard
and JST cable. Each PCB thickness has a different gasket to
make sure compression is maintained.
DESIGN
“To protrude, To build High”
Ziggurats often apply simple bases and symmetrical
lines that mirror mathematics. We aimed to take inspiration
in this design language, while also adding a few things of
our own.
The stepped pattern on the bottom piece
represents the iconic “stairway to heaven” that connects
earthlings to the Gods, and the Ziggurat, its medium.
DESIGN PROGRESSION
These first two renders show the design progression
from the first prototype (right) to the latest and completed
on the left.

Premium, powder-coated option, “Limestones of Ur” coated by
ELOQUENT COATS. Due to logistic challenges, this color will
only be offered at ELOQUENT CLICKS
To ensure proper
clearance and compression, two different gasket thicknesses
are needed depending on the PCB thickness. Top case gaskets
are always the same while bottom gaskets will depend on what
PCB you build with. Each PCB will come with appropriately
sized gaskets. Top gaskets will go on the case, bottom
gaskets will go on the PCB.
