Introduction:

The front height features an asymmetrical curved design, akin to early ergonomic keyboards from brands like Microsoft. For this asymmetrical 65% layout, we shifted the center of gravity to the F/J key center, using complex curved surfaces to achieve ergonomics without widening the front frame. The overall design language also follows this shifted axis.Thanks to the 3-layer, screwless external design, the front height stays under 20mm (Front height is 18.5mm, with a 13.5mm low point in the ergonomic slope). This allows for a lower curved front edge matching the ergonomic arc.Side profile boasts complex curves for seamless 4-sided connections, meeting G3 continuity standards. The top cover has a raised curved design, no pure flat surfaces here. Kudos to our engineers for devising a variable-curvature surface to replace tricky corner chamfers, solving the issue of connecting irregular curves.These complex side curves extend to the cable port side, with a weight transition using two cut surface changes.

Engineers opted for 3 upper + 2 lower fixing points (common in 60% keyboards), which performed well in prototypes and will be used in production.

Smoke uses soft buffers: 70a and 90a options. Engineers adjusted buffer design to minimize torsional deformation during screwing, ensuring stability.

We favor 3-layer, screwless designs and now the brass middle frame has also become quite popular. But personally speaking, we don't have a particularly strong preference for brass middle frames. especially with a heavy weight. XINGZHI proposed a transparent hard resin middle frame to echo "smoke on the water"

• The weight represents "water," so the translucent frame evokes "smoke."

• It isolates top and bottom cases, acting as a Force Break.

• The hard resin's insulation lets us thicken the frame, reducing cavities for better filling.

Common Force Break designs risk increasing cavities or gaps. Our middle frame solution passed stress tests and prototyping. PEI was chosen over low-value PEEK or soft, deformable PC—our first mass-produced PEI middle frame.
