Design Intention:

The initial inspiration of T9 was primarily driven by the desire to create a larger keycap display. Previously, I had designed Phaseone and TPS40, both of which were small layout
keyboards, facing the frustration of having no space for numerous personalised or resin-based keycaps.
This prompted me to start searching for references. As I delved deeper into the subject, I began to broaden my thinking and explore the history of personal computers. During my research on IBM and Commodore, I stumbled upon the Texas Instruments Ti99 4/A. Suddenly, I felt that this machine was incredibly unique. It had the capability to accommodate various modules, and its story had its fair share of ups and downs.


After confirming the two images mentioned above as the visual style, I began arranging the layout according to modern standards while adjusting the proportions and angles of each element. This was done to ensure that the outline and lines would meet modern aesthetic preferences while still maintaining a retro visual style.
