Apostle: Giger-esque 65% keyboard

The Apostle is a 65% layout mechanical keyboard designed with a balanced and proportional aesthetic, featuring a unique weight design that enhances its visual appeal. It utilizes larger M4 screws for case fastening and has a low profile with a 7-degree typing angle.
