DEADLINE Studio NewRetro#66v3 Keyboard Kit - Group-Buy

New Retro v3 continues the previous retro-futuristic deconstructivism, employing triangular three-dimensional support brackets and connecting rods as the dividing anchor points for the input area.

The material and form factor have been refined based on v1, inheriting and further enhancing the design language of the NR66 series.
