DESIGN
Obviously it is inspired by early kustoms. But I wanted to create an “alternate timeline” where customs went into a different direction.
I used the flat surfaces the classic design provided to fill it with engravings and graphics. I wanted to maximize the amount of style I can cram into it, and do it in strange new ways nobody else has done before.


Fake seam. Originally I was going to use this bottom design with Kebnekaise, but I had trouble making a weight extend so close to the edges without causing issues. I eventually solved it, but it was so expensive that I got the idea of faking it, by using “panel lines”. Looks great and I’ve been using it a lot since.



The fossil was surprisingly tricky to get right. I wanted it to have a printed like quality to it, as if it's an image, but still have some surface variation to make it seem like a real fossil. I can't wait for people to see this weight in like 3 years and be very confused what the hell it even is.



So I was desperate to make a keyboard where external screws are hidden, but all the common methods just had enough of downsides to really bother me.
I wanted to use M3 screws, no dinky little M2 screws.
I wanted it to not interfere with switches.
Needs to not require extra parts, or glue or magnets or whatever.
It took a long while, but I figured out a way to do all of that, with no downsides.
Behold:
The Baionbolt was born. Named after the true genius that has blessed our hobby by gracing us with such incredible technology of slightly tilting the screw. Technically I first used it in Synovia, but Gehirn has more eyes on it.
Jokes aside, this is something that I’m quite proud of.
After I posted cross sections on how to do it in my discord, it has seen adoption on several other keyboard projects.
