We are excited to share the latest creation from Whatever Studio: Vany Alice. If we had to choose a theme for Alice, the butterfly would undoubtedly be the perfect choice. The butterfly-inspired design of the Alice keyboard, combined with its split wrist rest, beautifully forms the shape of a complete butterfly

Highlight Design

Butterfly Badge Design : At the center of the front is a butterfly badge. The copper component of this badge has undergone multiple processes to ensure it displays sufficient delicacy and elegance in a static state. Surrounding this metal butterfly is a customizable lighting effect that adds unique visual charm. Additionally, the Caps Lock lighting effect is cleverly integrated into this logo.

 

Base Butterfly Design : The butterfly design on the bottom of Vany features black resin and white acrylic, inlaid with stainless steel wings and a pure copper body. The white acrylic part, combined with independent FPC bottom lights and side lights, creates an atmospheric effect, becoming an important element of Vany's lighting design.

Overall Lines Design : The raised tent design on the front and the clear lines on the back create a fuller and clearer butterfly outline. At the same time, Vany inherits the floating concept from the Paper series, with the bottom butterfly not directly touching the desktop. From specific angles, the light reflected from the wings shines onto the desktop, complementing the side lights.

Purposeful Adjustment : Extreme aesthetics are our primary driving force. Compared to the conventional Alice layout, we have made subtle adjustments to the angles of the left and right halves and the spacing between the switches in Vany, making the key gaps more uniform. Additionally, gap lighting has been added at the keycap tilt junction to create a more harmonious natural gap.

8 Color Options

To echo the scales covering the wings of the butterfly, we plan to introduce a variety of glittery electrostatics, while also retaining classic anodized colors. Based on the results of the poll, we will keep the 8 color choices and keep the butterfly badg on the front.

6 External Weights

We provide a total of 3 external weights, with PVD mirror and PVD matte finishes as optional features. 

Mounting Systems

This time, we have added O-ring and silica gel particle to the traditional gasket design. Based on the voting results, we have finalized that the default PCB is a 1.6mm non-flexible cut, with add-on for a 1.2mm flexible cut. The default plate is made of PC, with add-on options for FR4, PC, or aluminum. Whether soft or hard, Vany will provide you with a unique input experience.
