Introduction:
A Keyboard inspired by the Oscar-winning short film Paperman
We're excited to share with you the Paper 80 designed by Whatever Studio. With so many small details focused on taking the experience to the highest level, we're happy to share more regarding this project and hope our passion is expressed below.
Design Highlights:
Mid-case Fold Light Design
One of the key features we wanted to add is the Mid-case Fold Light. The sides and back of the PAPER80 fold lines inspired by the Paper Airplane. Lit up, we enjoy a calming glow around the entire keyboard.
Paper Plane External Weight Logo
We want every design on the PAPER80 to feel seamless, like clouds naturally floating in the sky. It has very defined folds, a 3D look, and appears to fly out of the surface.
Paper Plane LED diffuser
A paper airplane LED diffuser for the front side was made from a light-transmitting material. Only fill colours were used on the four sharp triangles that make up the paper plane. This way, the design stands out more, and only the lines light up, adding a small detail that users can appreciate.
7 Case Colour Options
6 External Weights
We are offering a total of 3 weight colours available in 2 finishes, PVD mirror or AFP (Anti-fingerprint) - AFP is durable and protects the surface from scratches, extending its lifespan. Unlike the bright and visually striking appearance of mirror PVD, AFP offers a soft touch with a smooth feel that is warm and comfortable.
Mounting
When designing the structure you might ask why we didn't use a traditional gasket system?
The answer is we wanted to reduce keyboard vibrations from typing as much as possible.
With that in mind we designed the lock-hole gasket mount that strikes a balance between internal space usage and a consistent feel. Our goal isn't to have an extremely soft typing experience but rather provide appropriate support within a perceptible depression. This is what we truly aim to achieve.
