Design Concept: The Paperplane Reimagined
A piece of paper, folded into the horizon of your imagination.
Three years after the debut of the PAPER series, we return to the 65% form factor. This time, we revisited the paperplane's visual language—asking ourselves: how do we preserve the signature lightness and floating sensation in a more compact body.
Our answer: not to replicate, but to reconstruct.
Moving away from the large backplate and curved waistline of its predecessor, we deconstructed the imagery of a paperplane. We reimagined it into every detail: the folded lines on the sides, the triangular facets on the bottom, and the ambient lighting hidden within the shadows. The result is a 65% that still carries the soul of PAPER.
Featuring:
-
Extended Side Lines
- Precise cuts along the bottom housing echo the signature floating aesthetic of the PAPER series.
-
Triangular Ambient Light Inserts
- Embedded within the bottom case's triangular facets, these lights cast a soft glow onto your desk, creating harmony between the keyboard and the surface.
-
V-Shaped Tail Lights
- Narrow V-shaped light strips race along the angled bottom edges, like afterburners, injecting a sense of motion.
-
Front Details · Multiple Elements, One Cohesive Design
- Across the front face of the PAPER 65, above the main key cluster, several individual components come together:
- Strip Indicator Light - Housed in a long, oval, recessed frame, it delivers a sleek, eye-catching glow when lit.
- Mirror-Polished Stainless Steel Inlay with Lighting
- Acrylic combined with mirror-polished stainless steel for a reflective, high-end texture
- Three Small Indicator Lights
- Subtly placed to enrich the visual layers.
- 1U LCD Screen
- 128×128 resolution, capable of displaying keypress values, GIFs, and connection status.
- Across the front face of the PAPER 65, above the main key cluster, several individual components come together:
-
Anodized Aluminum Trim Bar - Dark anodized finish that visually narrows the top bezel for a more streamlined look.
-
Paperplane Badge · Icon and Indicator in One
- On the front bevel, the paperplane badge continues the design language of the PAPER 80.
- Material: Light-diffusing acrylic + resin fill
- Function: RGB lighting effects, integrated with Caps Lock indicator
- Thoughtful detail: A small window on the top case lets you check Caps Lock status without flipping the board.
- The 1U Screen · More Than Meets the Eye
-
Structure · Dual-Mount Compatibility
- The PAPER 65 is designed to support both Bottom Mount and Gasket Mount configurations — giving you the freedom to choose your preferred typing feel.
- At the heart of this flexibility is our newly developed bushing-style Bottom Mount system. Featuring precision-engineered acrylic bushings, it works like the hard rubber chassis reinforcements in performance cars: preserving structural rigidity while effectively isolating micro-vibrations from the plate during typing.
- The result? Cleaner, purer acoustics — a noticeable step up from traditional top-mount designs.
