Styx

Keyboard Overview

STYX Hello, I’m Saab from the UK, previously known for designing the Pluto and Envy keyboards. Following the completion of Pluto, I began work on a new project—Styx, a 60% keyboard that features a uniquely segregated spacebar for enhanced functionality and customization. The name Styx is inspired by one of Pluto’s moons, continuing the celestial theme established in my earlier designs. Appearance My goal was to move away from a boxy, squared-off form and deliver a more sculpted, cohesive silhouette and I believe that vision has been successfully realized. The side profile has undergone a significant transformation. While the original design featured strictly 90-degree angles on the top piece, the Styx V2 introduces angled sides throughout, creating a more cohesive visual flow that mirrors the curvature of the bottom housing. Viewed from the bottom, the board now features a significantly more fluid and curvaceous form, as highlighted in the renders. Notably, the introduction of stepped contours on the underside not only enhances acoustic performance but also contributes to a more substantial and refined bottom housing profile. Every transition is intentional, creating a seamless visual flow. A subtle engraving of the moon phases has been introduced an understated nod to Styx as one of Pluto’s moons. Exploded view The internal weight has been reimagined as an external component, serving both functional and visual roles by housing the daughterboard and pogo pin connector.
