Unagi
IC Form: https://forms.gle/EezQSPbK1mE1bXzeA
Hi, I am geo and I have been into custom keyboards for the past 3 years. I have been working on Unagi on and off for over a year and I am excited to finally post this.

Gray top color (shown above) is guaranteed. The is an option for either pink or red in the IC form above.

Unagi was inspired by eels, and my love for the dish unadon.
It is a two piece, fixed-WKL 60% keyboard with a raw sanded stainless steel bottom.
I have always loved the look of raw, machined metals, however I rarely see it implemented in keyboard
designs. With Unagi, my intentions are to embrace the subtle roughness and eventual patina of the raw sanded steel rather than fight it.
This will be run in two colors, gray and either red or pink.

Unagi utilizes a 356mini-esque o-ring mounting system, with optional 1mm adhesive foam pads that can be placed on the top case to change sound profile if desired. (to my ear, these pads noticeably improve sound consistency while not creating a generic “foamy” sound). 70A durometer o-rings will be included as I enjoy the somewhat firm typing feel it provides, however there are many o-rings available online to experiment with if you are interested. I am still experimenting with case
