AM HHKB 65 by Angry Miao
Remember to let us know which colors you like the
most!
Angry Miao have come out with many crazy and
complicated designs with numerous powerful features, such as
AM HATSU. But this time we want to create something
different. Something that’s simple and easy to use. That
would be a 65% keyboard.
But we’re also enticed by the
symmetrical shape of HHKB. Therefore, we incorporated a
touchpad to replace the four arrow keys (we are not sure
about PgUp and PgDn yet). This, combined with a 65% layout,
allowed us to create a symmetrical keyboard layout
arrangement.
We originally wanted to provide R2
Backspace compatibility, but quickly realized that we would
have to forgo stabilizers, hotswap and in-switch lighting in
order to achieve that. That’s a sacrifice we simply could
not make.
65% with HHKB mixed in
We like the convenience of the 65% layout, but we
also like the symmetry of HHKB. Initially, instead of using
traditional arrow keys, we wanted to use a joystick.
However, after taking some inspiration from another keyboard
with an integrated touchpad, we realized a touchpad would be
a better option. This is how we came up with HHKB 65, which
takes the 65% layout as reference but manages to keep the
keys centered and symmetrical. Let’s see how that works
out.
Base Version inspired by Back to the Future
Doesn’t the DMC DeLorean look like it’s out of this
world? Who doesn’t want to own a DeLorean with a built-in
time machine?
Getting your hands on a good DMC DeLorean gets harder
day by day. So why not take its unique design as our
inspiration and turn it into a keyboard?
1. Back to the Future
BUGERWORK, the designer of our “Back to the Future”
Keycap Set, helped us out designing corresponding R4 1.5U
and 1U keycaps to complement the HHKB 65 layout.
2. DMC Ultra Violet
Besides the stunning silver variant of the DMC
DeLorean, a crazy purple variant also made an appearance in
Back to the Future.
You guys loved our CYBERBOARD R1
Purple Haze colorway, so here it is once more for HHKB
65!
Although both body parts are purple, they’re finished
using a different surface treatment. Perfectly in line with
the DMC DeLorean’s crazy design.
3. SPY×FAMILY Anya
No inspiration from BLACKPINK this time. Just our
unconditional love for Anya.
4. PORTER STAND Be@rbrick
How about a bolder color scheme?
Inspired by PORTER STAND’s Tanker color scheme, army
green is complemented by bright orange.
Custom Lighting
Colors schemes only go so far when it comes to
expressing your personality. This is where our RGB lighting
comes into play.
5. Cybertruck Headlights
6. Aventador LP-700 Taillights
7. LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS
Three Robots from LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS season 1.
Eyes on you!
8. Black Brass inspired by Leica M-P Lenny
Kravitz
Besides flashy lighting, breakthroughs in
craftsmanship is also something that Angry Miao pursues.
That’s why we took our inspiration from the Leica M-P
Correspondent designed by Lenny Kravitz.
In 2017, Leica launched the limited edition Leica M-P
Correspondent Edition camera correspondent designed by
singer-songwriter Lenny Kravitz, with only 125 units
available worldwide. It uses exposed brass as one of its
main design elements. The body and lens are crafted from
brass and covered with a layer of black paint. Through wear
and tear, the outer layer of black paint gradually wears
off, revealing the brass material underneath. This
distinctive design element is recognized by enthusiasts,
symbolizing loyal long-term Leica users. It is something
that Leica users strive to ultimately achieve.
9. Black Brass (base version)
If you want something more compact and low-key, you
can opt for the base version with the brass weight plate
removed. Even without the brass weight plate, the delicate
traces of exposed brass can still be seen through the black
paint on the edges.
10. XMAS Special
Winter is around the corner! So here is our Christmas
edition keyboard well in advance. With hollowed out
snowflakes for that extra Christmas flavor.
Which one of the 10 colors do you like the most? Or
do you have any suggestions? Please let us know!
The
colorways are not final yet and will improve upon them based
on your suggestions. We might even make some adjustments to
them after we manufacture our first beta units. This is our
current progress on AM HHKB 65. We will update this thread
when we have more information to share!
