DESCRIPTION
Curviest 60% on the market
From the designer:
Having been in the hobby for a while (since late 2015), I’ve seen plenty of 60% designs, trends and features. This made me hesitant to do a standard layout design as I didn’t know what to add to the table without the design looking… like a nice rectangle.
Ellipse is my take on the always popular and in-demand 60% keyboard layout. It also marks a new chapter in my journey in keyboard design. I thought about making Ellipse a bit more… different while still keeping it sleek, modern and versatile.
