PAPER80A masterpiece of design and functionality with a stunning mid-case fold light and customizable options, merging cinematic elegance with cutting-edge tech.
Mid-Case Fold Light
A standout feature of the Paper80 is its Mid-case Fold Light, inspired by paper airplanes. To ensure a seamless design, we've crafted a floating light that evenly illuminates the sides and back, avoiding the awkward contrast between the plastic light guide and aluminum. This solution maintains the sleek look while enhancing the overall glow.
Paper Plane Weight
We aimed for the Paper80 design to evoke the seamless elegance of floating clouds. After extensive refinement, our paper airplane logo now features sharp, defined folds with a striking 3D effect that seems to lift off the surface. These meticulous details, though subtle, reflect our commitment to perfecting every aspect of the Paper80.
Paper Plane LED Diffuser
To complement the mid-case fold light, we crafted the paper airplane LED diffuser from light-transmitting material. Instead of lighting the entire shape, we highlighted just the four sharp triangles, preserving the texture and uniqueness of the design. This subtle detail ensures the lines stand out, enhancing the overall aesthetic.
Mounting
Instead of a traditional gasket system, we chose a lock-hole gasket mount to minimize keyboard vibrations. This design balances internal space and support, aiming for a stable feel rather than an overly soft experience. Our goal is to provide precise, perceptible support for an optimal typing feel.
