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.
Extended Side Lines
Precise cuts along the bottom housing echo the signature floating aesthetic of the PAPER series.
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
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.
Anodised Aluminium Trim Bar
Dark anodised 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
Keypress feedback with key value display
Real-time connection status
GIF / static image support
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.
