Antipode
Logos
Design
The board is built around a top and bottom case that house the split 60% and numpad PCB/plate assembly. These two parts form separate internal chambers, designed to reduce unwanted resonance. The two PCBs are linked by a ribbon cable, concealed between the bottom case and the weight.
A large angled weight is mounted to the underside, giving the board its substantial mass while also making room for a small logo. Beyond this logo and the exposed screws on the bottom, the back of the board is detailed with engraved key specifications, further emphasizing its industrial-inspired design language.
To complete the design, a subtle split line visually separates the main typing area from the numpad, creating distinction without interrupting the overall form.

Keyboard Disclaimers
The photos
Photos and renders are for illustration. The product you receive may differ in colour, texture and finish because of lighting, screen settings and photography. Colour differences are not defects and are not grounds for an exchange or refund.
What's normal
A-stock units have no external scratches or obvious marks once built. Internal marks that can't be seen once built, including hook marks, don't make a unit B-stock.
Screw holes may not be fully anodised or coated, small marks near the hole openings may be present.
Raw or thinly coated brass oxidises and may develop a patina naturally. Small blemishes and discolouration may be visible.
Plating marks from the hanging holes used in production may show inside the case. They are normal.
Before you build
Please check your kit before you build it. Once a kit has been assembled, appearance issues can no longer be claimed.

Origin: Greek
λόγος (logos).
Words from the designer:
Logos is the latest board in my trilogy of designs inspired by the concepts of Pneuma, Ontos, and Logos.
The name “Logos” is an appeal to logic and reason, a counterbalance to emotional bias and opinion through facts, structure, and clarity.
This idea naturally shaped the design of the board. In comparison to my earlier designs, Logos is more focused on productivity,
with a stronger industrial design language throughout.
Similar to Pneuma, I designed Logos around the belief that a product should remain interesting from three distinct distances:
from far away, from normal usage distance, and from up close.
