New Features
Outer side of the badge: Redesigned with a stylish aesthetic
Inner side of the badge: Crafted from copper material for a more exquisite appearance.
Bottom case: The changes in appearance make it better align with the curved aesthetics of the top case, achieving a harmonious and unified overall visual effect.
Top case: The curvature on both sides of the shell has been optimized for a more natural transition with the front; practical LED indicators have been added while retaining a minimalist design.

PCB
Hot-swap wired PCB, with a Caps lock LED indicator, support VIA/QMK, USB-C interface
The default firmware setting is that the lighting effect changes when you press the capslock key. If you turn off the RGB lighting, the LED will light up red when you press the capslock key.
The PCB has been upgraded to support a daughterboard, aiming to eliminate collisions between the USB port
and the case when using a gasket structure, providing better protection.
Additionally, customizations include a sapphire blue color and graffiti patterns.
