A TKL keyboard featuring a side profile with curves
that blends well with each other. The goal of the design is
to make a less-rectangular board while still maintaining a
minimalistic look.

PCB:
We will develop our own pcb but the keyboard case will be compatible with h88 or other similar pcbs. Thickness is 1.6mm with no flex cuts. Solder PCB. Hotswap is being considered.
Plate Materials:
Aluminum, PC, FR4
Colors:
As of now, Silver is the only confirmed color. Other colors will depend on the this interest check.
Protos?
We will produce some prototypes once we have gathered feedback on some aspects (specifically Colors, Plate Materials, Layout (WK, WKL, HHKB), USB port position, Internal/External Screw)

FAQs:
Who are you?
I am a keyboard designer/vendor from the
Philippines. Most of my groupbuys have been local (a lot of
pcb, plate, acrylic kit gbs) but I have experience running
international groupbuys/sales as well. Some of them are
the PH60 (HHKB PC Case), Alter (Alice layout), Paraluman
(WKL 60), Octopad Macropad. For this project, I have
partners that will help me execute the project and they are
the one that will make the in-stock sale possible.
You have other ICs already, why not run them
first?
Just like how you want to change your keyboard almost
every month, my motivation to give attention to a certain
design also varies from time to time. I also had a hard time
finding a new manufacturer for the past year that can
accommodate my needs, which is mostly the reason why my
pending ICs have not proceeded to GBs.
Why a butterfly weight?
At first, I actually did not want to add any
character or logo on the case. But the curve of the sides
gives me an impression that the keyboard is soaring through
the air. At first I added a bird logo, but it didn’t look
good so I looked for other creatures that are flying. I
think that the symmetry of the butterfly’s wings is perfect
and it blends well with the elegance of the overall design.
