Solar80

Solar80 is a uniquely designed keyboard that draws inspiration from the natural rhythms of time, such as tree rings, seasonal changes, and the cycles of day and night. Its aesthetic has sparked polarized opinions, with some praising its bold appearance while others find it challenging. The keyboard features a streamlined layout that omits the F13 key for visual harmony and offers both hot-swap and soldered PCB options. It employs a classic TOP mount design, emphasizing reliability and typing feel over structural novelty. The design philosophy of Solar80 focuses on returning to the essentials of keyboard functionality, aligning with the theme of cycles in nature. While it respects the demand for modularity and variety in keyboard designs, it aims to provide a dependable and pure typing experience.
