    the Great Wave off Kanagawa

    The Great Wave off Kanagawa (Japanese: 神奈川沖浪裏, Hepburn: Kanagawa-oki Nami Ura, lit. "Under the Wave off Kanagawa"), also known as The Great Wave or simply The Wave, is a woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai. It was published sometime between 1829 and 1833 in the late Edo period as the first print in Hokusai's series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. The image depicts an enormous wave threatening three boats off the coast in the Sagami Bay (Kanagawa Prefecture) while Mount Fuji rises in the background. Sometimes assumed to be a tsunami, the wave is more likely to be a large rogue wave.
    It is Hokusai's most famous work and is often considered the most recognizable work of Japanese art in the world.

    Hot swap pcb design

    Easily remove and install any MX-based switch without any soldering. Personalize to what works for you, and use any combinations of switches!

  • How to remove the switches

    • When removing the switches, use the switch puller. Unclip the top and bottom clips while pulling up gently.
    • The low profile switches are more difficult to remove. When removing them, make sure you clip the sides.
    • Be careful not to scratch the keyboard with the puller.
    • BE VERY CAREFUL when mounting the switches! If you feel a lot of resistance, don’t continue pushing. If you push too hard, you could break an electronic component and void the warranty.
    • When mounting the switches, align the pins and insert them into the correct holes. The same applies to the low profile switches.
    • Be careful not to bend the metal pins when mounting the switches.
    • While fitting the switches, do it gently. If you feel a lot of resistance, don’t continue pushing. If you push too hard you could break an electronic component and void the warranty.
    • The hole on the switch where the LED light shines through should be at the top.

    Dye-sublimation printing

    Dye-sublimation printing (or dye-sub printing) is a computer printing technique which uses heat to transfer dye onto materials such as a plastic, card, paper, or fabric. The sublimation name was first applied because the dye was considered to make the transition between the solid and gas states without going through a liquid stage. This understanding of the process was later shown to be incorrect, as there is some liquefying of the dye. Since then, the proper name for the process has become known as dye-diffusion, though this technically-correct term has not supplanted the original name. Many consumer and professional dye-sublimation printers are designed and used for producing photographic prints, ID cards, clothing, and more.

    PBT Double shot keycap

    beside ESC/Enter/Space bar , others in Blue on White seamless keycap with Blue legends PBT Double Shot keycaps. Unlike printing, this keycap type is produced when two layers of plastic are molded into each other. No printing necessary. The end result is a key legend which will never fade or chip off. ABS keys will develop a shine over time; but PBT keys will retain their texture even after heavy use.

    The PCB has been pre-flashed with VIA compatible firmware already. So when you plug the keyboard in, the VIA program should detect your board automatically. If not, you need to upload the .json file to VIA first, then the VIA program will detect your board.
