Hello guys,
Feel free to post your feed backs on the design as well as your interest in this thread.
This oriental looking board [TaiChi] is heavily inspired by the philosophy of Taichi, a Chinese cosmological term for the “Supreme Ultimate” state of undifferentiated absolute and infinite potential, the oneness before duality, from which Yin and Yang originate, can be compared with the old 無極.
The word 太極 comes from I Ching: “易有太極,是生兩儀,兩儀生四象,四象生八卦,八卦定吉凶,吉凶生大業。” ~ adopted from wikipedia.
General information of the keyboard:

  1. Case will be made from 6061 Aluminium alloy. TKL layout - WKL and WK
  2. Keyboard angle at 7°
  3. Available plate options will be:
    a. Aluminium Alloy
    b. Brass
    c. Stainless steel
  4. Weight options - Brass only
  5. TaiChi logo made of titanium alloy. Manual mosaic polishing and engraving with Eve’s latest techniques.
  6. Side Profile 1 will be used, do not be alarmed by the prototype pictures below.
  7. Colour way yet to be decided. Might do a google poll on the colour choices during the actual interest check.
  8. Top mounted.
  9. PCB - unconfirmed
  10. Price yet to be decided.
    I am still exploring payment methods directly to Eve. Since this is Eve’s studio project I am trying to cut myself out of the payment process.
    Lesser middleman and transfers would be better for all. Am doing this liaison for free (Eve has issues with communicating in English), which I believe would be beneficial for this community.
    Of course I will still follow through and help out in the ordering and logistical requests, as well as bridging the communication gap here.
    I prefer to let the pictures do the talking, so continue to scroll down below for more details.
    Without further ado, here is the concept render for your reference:
