2. Design
KV1-65% is a minimalist 65% keyboard designed by GDK Lab, marking the studio’s first entry in the K series. GDK Lab opted for a subtractive design approach, resulting in an overall shape that is both simple and restrained, with fluid lines that convey a sense of vitality. After completing the standard structure, the team focused on refining the details and texture, and the 220-mesh aluminum case makes each touch of the keyboard truly impressive.
Front Design
The front has narrow borders on the left and right, and a badge is added on the upper right as a theme embellishment
Side Design
The upper cover is designed with a cut waistline, and the steps of the bottom shell are cut through fold lines to make the entire side more layered.
Back Design
The back is the highlight of Kv1-65%. A whole piece of weight is embedded in the bottom case, and the C-angle straight line in the middle echoes the stripe of the bottom case.
