Origin: A Rebellion Against Industrial Aesthetics
2021, Shenzhen.
While modding an old keyboard, four programmers uncovered the industry's "material lies":
• "Metal-textured" keycaps were merely electroplated plastic;
• So-called "ceramic craftsmanship" boiled down to surface glaze printing.
"If we can't trust the materials beneath our fingertips,
how can we believe in the virtual worlds built by code?"
Thus, EclipticNova was born.
Rebooting the dialogue between truth and aesthetics through keyboards.
Material Poetry: Four States of Stardust
We return materials to their essence:
-
🌌 Metal: Aerospace-grade aluminum carved by 5-axis CNC, preserving icy precision
-
🪐 Ceramic: Co-developed with Jingdezhen artisans, micro-pores maintain warmth
-
🌀 PBT: German raw pellets formula, 300% higher oil-resistance
-
☄️ Copper: Ancient "lost-wax casting" reborn, oxidizing into nebula patterns
