Before anyone asks, the feet I ordered got delayed so I'm using some foam LOL
So, I've unfortunately learned Fusion. At first, it was so I could 3D print custom parts, and then swiftly converted this knowledge to designing keyboards. Nami is the result. Nami, meaning "wave" in Japanese, is what I aimed for in designing this board. The side profile is composed of 3 curves meant to resemble a wave in motion and the weight is straightforward, just a wave. Nami is, in essence, a reskinned Bakeneko (though it is made from the ground up). It uses Korn mounting points and has a slightly raised front height of 19mm and typing angle of 6.3 degrees. It's made with 6063 aluminum and anodized in Pantone 2128 C.
This will be run as a private group buy with some of my friends and have about 5 units.

Shoutout to Hali for teaching me a lot in this process. There are lots of small details about keyboard designing you only know from someone telling you or through experience.
Also thank you to ai03's keyboard altier for the resources and help there.
Lastly, thank you kkatano for the bakeneko.
