K-Bird Keyboard Concept Applies a New Angle to Tactile Typing
Hexagonal keys and a modular add-on platform add new dimensions to 3D designer Travis Ragsdale's K-Bird concept keyboard.
If there’s one trend that seems to have lasting legs amongst young creatives, it’s the popularity of mechanical designer keyboards. Drawn to the pleasurable aural and tactile feedback of mechanical switch keys, many find that they improve typing accuracy and speed, compounded with the joy of unique analog aesthetics. In regards to the latter, designers have outfitted keyboards with everything from round keycaps, cases inspired by Italian ceramics, and even embellished keyboards with the chromatic cinematic aesthetic of Wes Anderson to stand out from the crowd. The K-Bird concept keyboard by 3D artist Travis Ragsdale takes a literal different angle to tactile typing with a hexagonal keycap design and an industrial sci-fi aesthetic, alongside an adaptive modular add-on accessory platform imagined to grow according to a creative’s workflow.
Ragsdale’s K-Bird is built around a flat unibody construction bookended with stainless steel handles on each side, giving the keyboard a hint of rack mount hardware seriousness. But it’s the K-Bird’s hexagonal scheme that stands out from the crowd, right down to its mini polygonal power switch and 6-sided dials and sliders.
Unlike typing on a flat laptop surface, an angled accessory keyboard is a far more comfortable experience. To address this issue, Ragsdale accessorizes ...
