[GB] Optica

$570.00

With so many boards with intricate weights on the back that end up being under-appreciated, Optica was created from a desire to make something that looked as good as it types and sounds, from the angles that matter.

With design traits inspired by the likes of Geon, Gok and many others, my aim with the case design is to continue pushing the modern keyboard aesthetic in a way that isn't as loud as Matrix/QK, or as predictable as the boxes on wedges(not that there's anything wrong with either).
