·This keyboard design concept for Z1 originates from Zjay. Both Neson Design Zephyr Lab shared the same passion for keyboards with ambient lighting design, and were fascinated by the concept of interstellar spacecraft. The goal of this design was to express a philosophy of “standing firmly on the ground while gazing at the stars.”
At its core, a custom keyboard is an industrial design art piece—one that reflects the designer's vision while balancing functionality and aesthetic expression. Neson Design & Zephyr Lab wanted the front of the Z1 to be designed as simple and clean as possible: no logos or patterns, allowing it to seamlessly blend in with any desktop setup or accessories. In hand, we wanted the keyboard to feel distinct and refined.
Below are some renders of the keyboard.
