Introducing the Sand Glass Ergo 70%, Fox Lab's latest innovation. Building on the success of our first Alice-layout keyboard, the Sand Glass 80%, we've streamlined the design to create a compact 70% variant—the "small sand glass". Featuring the same distinctive sand glass-inspired shape and frame, the Ergo 70% omits the F-row for a sleeker, more ergonomic experience that effortlessly combines style and functionality. Discover the perfect balance of form and function with the Sand Glass Ergo 70%.

Design

Adjustments

First, we adjusted the overall width and length of the appearance, and then arranged the keys more compactly according to the layout, making the key layout and frame harmonious and unified. The result is making the layout more exquisite and coordinated.

Aesthetic

The Sand Glass Ergo 70% boasts a captivating design that stays true to its sand glass inspiration, without unnecessary embellishments. With three-section partitioning and varying angles, the keyboard ensures seamless transitions and reduced gaps between keycaps. Enhance your ergonomic typing experience with a matching wrist rest featuring the elegant "沙漏" symbol—expertly crafted for both comfort and style.

Structure

The Sand Glass Ergo 70% features a striking three-layer design with contrasting colors for a rich visual hierarchy. The middle layer houses all wiring for easy installation, while the screwless bottom case offers a clean, minimalistic look. Enhanced by a shock-absorbing layer for a cushioned typing experience, the 8-degree typing angle and gasket design separating the plate and PCB ensures a soft, elastic feel with increased stability and horizontal proximity.

The Sand Glass Ergo 70% offers a refined design, achieved by adjusting width and length, and incorporating a compact key arrangement. This attention to detail creates a harmonious and unified layout that is both visually appealing and well-coordinated.

Plate

The plate still uses the hollowed-out design of 80%, but it is not so extreme, and more consideration is given to its consistency and stability.
