CASE DESIGN

DESIGN NOTES AND INSPIRATION

We wanted to use some of the familiar design choices from the Manta while also leaning into a more industrial and straightforward design that differentiated the Schema. We squared off the bottom pillars and added a cherry lip to have a more angular design. Engraved lines on the back of the top case and external screws add visual interest as you look at different areas of the keyboard. 

MOUNTING DESIGN

For both myself, bowl, and alexotos we keep coming back to the poron gasket mount as something that is tried and true letting you use different plates and switches to find a combination that you like
