This is a keyboard from our old friend -- Pixelspace Studio. It has been over a year since the last Capsule IC. Pixelspace studio has been established for 3 years now. Thank you all for your continued support and love. Today we want to introduce to you the latest 80% keyboard project - the "Shadow".
Pixelspace
Shadow80
A dual color design was decided for this project-the main case colors are contrasted by the secondary color which is in the weight as well as the midframe, which can be seen on all sides, as well as a protrusion at the front and back.

In the badge and the back and bottom weight badge of the keyboard, we tried to deviate from the traditional of exposing light features directly. Instead, the light is diffused through subtle peeks to create a more ambient feel.
