I am typing this article on a lynn Whale with tuned
ergo clear under its hood, adorned with a set of OG dyesub.
Looking back a year ago, I used to judge how people would
get crazy over a keyboard, or even worse, over a single
piece of plastic keycap. Today, I am proud that I am part of
this community, part of this family. I’ve made friends, whom
I think I know them better than most of my real life
friends. I’ve met some really cool people in the Tokyo
meetup last year. And now, I finally have something to share
with my beloved community.
Exent
Previously known as M67-A. It started off as a small
project between Rama and I back in July 2016. Then I got
yuktsi on-board to share his experience on aluminium customs
and quadcube as our PCB guy. Later, sheraton from
Originative Co. recently joined the team and strengthen our
core. I also had a lot of help from close friends such as
bunnylake, jokrik and ntw, offering their advise, feedbacks,
critics, and most important of all, their unrelenting
support.
The influence of this keyboard came upon a
vintage apple keyboard. Rama was able to transform and
reinvent the product into something so unique yet modern.The
changes we made will allow for many modifications such as a
customizable layout to involve everyone in the community.
Exent
was envisioned to be a premium custom keyboard, offered at a
price that is affordable for all. This is made possible from
the dedication of each of the team members, pulling out all
stops to transform Exent from an idea to reality.
This
will be the most exciting keyboard of 2017, which grew from
a 2-person project, to a collaborative effort of a group of
keyboard hobbyists. At the time of writing, the CNC machine
in the factory are working hard on the first Exent
prototype. Excited as a kid on Christmas day, I am proud to
share with you, Exent.
