Model:
Number: EM-01

"Experimental" indicates something that is experimental and used during the testing or development phase.

"Mech" is an abbreviation of "Mechanical" and is often used to refer to mechs or mechanical warriors.

The keyboard will be named "Experimental Mech".

This is the Alpha version, so it is numbered 01.

Exterior Design:
To showcase the layered nature of the mecha, we used exoskeleton components, which not only creates a more three-dimensional feel but also allows for greater freedom in color and material mixing.

Of course, the separate design of the outer armor parts increases the cost of the entire kit, but it also allows for more possibilities for later customization.

Judging from the actual samples, it has indeed achieved the effect we wanted.

Additionally, we are also discussing releasing a DLC armor upgrade pack. This would involve replacing the existing accessory slots, transforming the armor into a completely different form, much like the weapon pack in the model.

 

Expansion
With all the outer armor removable, we've given the EM-01 more color options and greater playability with additional accessories.

This makes a keyboard more like a toy.

You can create a completely different keyboard style by simply changing a few parts.

Later, we will work with EM-01 users to organize the color customization and UV customization of related accessories.

This makes the EM-01 more than just a finished product; it's a customizable product that's fun and engaging.

This allows each user to customize their own mech to their liking.

Modular Expansion
As seen in the rendering, the monitor module in the upper right corner allows for the customization of any type of accessory based on the module's specifications. Six LED beads are mounted on the PCB at the corresponding location on the module. You can replace these with PC accessories to recreate the effect of the mech's monitor.

 

Surface decoration extension / Cosmetic Customization
The image shows a decal effect. You can purchase decals to customize your mecha to your liking, making it more distinctive and unique. Alternatively, you can choose UV coating to achieve even more possibilities.

Of course, if you are a seasoned Gundam model enthusiast, the painting technique will definitely be a more unique expression.

 

Positioning plate specifications
For this positioning plate, we did not use laser cutting, but instead used CNC machining, which has higher precision and less impact on the material properties.

As shown in the figure, we offer two positioning plate specifications.

 

Slotted positioning plate:

The combination of extreme slotting and rigid connection ensures a firm feel while significantly reducing the resonance area, allowing for a fuller sound performance even with the use of inner tube accessories.

Slotless positioning plate:

Traditional positioning plate structures are more suitable for users without cotton padding, offering a purer structure and more direct feedback, allowing the characteristics of the shaft and structure to be expressed more fully.
