It's been an amazing 2021 at MONOKEI, with collaborations and designs made with our favourite keyboard friends. And at rare junctures, friends become collaborators become co-workers.
The Hiro marks the formation of the MONOKEI design team based entirely in Singapore and Malaysia. We've decided to maintain the design language of MONOKEI while utilising the popular 65% layout with its arrow keys for better usability.
The box art features sections for each MONOKEI team member, with our children running around, cats doing cat things and a dream that we'll continue to produce good designs for everyone.
The Hiro is a gasket mount 65% keyboard kit utilising PORON® gasket strips. We've kept our favourite design elements of the Kei intact while tweaking the Hiro for easier assembly without sacrificing its distinct sound signature.
