The Manta is a project designed by Bowl Keyboards and Alexotos. We wanted to create something that pays homage to classic designs while standing out in a market crowded with 65% layouts. It was a daunting challenge—after all, creating something entirely new should be easy, right? But as we quickly realized, innovation and functionality are two very different things. With that in mind, we made it our primary objective during discussions and brainstorming sessions to balance both.

One idea that stood out was propping the keyboard up on copper or brass pillars that seamlessly flow into the bottom weight, or ‘fin.’ This design not only promised a striking aesthetic but also the potential for a distinctive sound profile.

The initial design for this was rather flat and boring. Originally, we wanted to machine a pattern on the bottom to give it some character. This was quickly transformed into what it is now, and it looked almost like a manta ray. And then the Manta was born.
