We’ve recently made several refinements to LP63, mainly around internal structure, exterior detailing, and long-term durability.
Here’s a clear update on what has changed and why.
First, we made a small structural revision to the internal O-ring support design.
The bottom structure has been adjusted to give the silicone O-ring support pads a more stable mounting foundation and better long-term durability. This is not a change in direction for the typing feel or the core suspension concept. The end result remains the same as what we originally intended. In other words, the experience we are aiming for has not changed — this update simply makes the structure itself more secure, more reliable, and better suited for long-term use.
We also finalized the logo treatment.
For LP63, the logo will be engraved using an ultra-fine CNC tool, but instead of carving the full lettering in a bold and obvious way, we are only engraving the outer edges of the letters. The result is much more subtle. Under normal viewing conditions, the logo stays visually quiet and does not distract from the overall design. But when light hits the surface at certain angles, it becomes faintly visible in a way that feels more refined and premium. This is much closer to the kind of restrained design language we want for LP63. We’ll share real sample photos as soon as possible, because this is the kind of detail that is much better shown in real light than explained through renders.
On the keycap side, we decided to stay with double-shot PBT keycaps.
We seriously considered transparent PC keycaps, because they do have some interesting visual possibilities. But after discussing the material and long-term durability with our supplier, we decided not to go in that direction. Compared with a proven double-shot PBT solution, transparent PC keycaps still fall short in durability, especially when it comes to long-term legend quality and wear resistance. For LP63, we would rather choose the more durable and dependable option than chase a look that may not hold up as well over time.
We also added a Mylar protective layer above the PCBA.
The purpose of this layer is straightforward: if accidental splashes happen during daily use, it can help prevent liquid from immediately reaching the components on the PCBA. That does not make LP63 waterproof, but it can reduce the chance of instant failure from minor spills.
That said, it is important to be clear about the actual limit here.
LP63 is splash-resistant, not waterproof.
A small accidental splash is one thing. A full glass of water poured directly onto the keyboard is another, and in that situation problems can still happen. We do not want to blur that line or imply otherwise. The safest advice is still simple: keep drinks a little farther away from your keyboard.
Overall, this update is not about adding flashy features.
It is about making the unseen details more solid, more honest, and more dependable. We care about LP63 not only looking right, but also being structurally sound and durable in real use.
More real sample photos will be shared as development continues.
