Thesiscamper, who is no stranger to the custom mechanical keyboard scene, was the first designer we worked with back in 2017 (Kira60, anyone?). I still remember sitting in a cafe with Thesis and a bunch of folks amazed at the signature side profile that would one day become a consistent motif throughout his designs. Thesis and I have worked closely on many other designs and renders and over time frequently talked keyboards over meals. It seemed fitting to mark the beginnings of MONOKEI x friends with the designer that worked with us in our first ever group buy.
The box art features Thesis' joys in life - family and cars. His obssession with cars and their design languages are expressed through his keyboard designs.
The Hidari is a 1800 Southpaw layout keyboard with a few tweaks. We've gone for a gasket strip mounting system to provide a soft but firm typing feeling. The numpad has been shifted left to better accommodate Thesis' preferred workflow.
