Design Features
Engraving texture on the bottom
The bottom of the shell features a twisted and intersecting curved design, carrying the profound essence of Eastern culture and showcasing the flow of life and the wisdom of philosophy.
This unique visual language not only enriches the connotation of wood carving art, but also provides viewers with a window to the palace of Eastern wisdom, inspiring deeper contemplation on life and the universe.
Walnut and Brass
The design of this keyboard seamlessly blends the elegant wood grain texture of walnut with the lustrous sheen of brass inlays, creating a visually striking and artistically captivating result.
The combination of the warm, organic warmth of the natural wood material and the cool, refined brilliance of the metallic accents produces a unique aesthetic that is both refined and striking.
The end product is a stunning work of functional art, where the keyboard transforms from a mere input device into a captivating object that commands attention and appreciation. This design seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship and modern aesthetics, resulting in a truly unique and compelling visual statement.
About the walnut
The hardness and resilience of the walnut wood enable the keyboard to withstand regular use and potential impacts without sustaining damage. This robustness contributes to the product's long lifespan and reliability.
Additionally, black walnut is highly resistant to decay and corrosion, allowing the keyboard to maintain its pristine condition over time.
The robust durability of the walnut wood, coupled with its rare and prized status, makes this a keyboard design of exceptional quality and value. The material's inherent preciousness enhances the perceived worth and desirability of this unique, artistically-crafted product.
The raw wood surface is finished with a clear wood lacquer, which protects the wood while highlighting its natural beauty and grain. This finish preserves the wood's inherent characteristics and lustrous appearance, further elevating the keyboard's premium quality and aesthetic appeal.
The grain of walnut wood can take on a multitude of captivating forms, including waves, burls, bird's eye, droplets, mountains, and straight lines. This incredible diversity of intricate, natural textures and patterns creates a visually striking and unique appearance in every piece of black walnut. Each product will be one-of-a-kind.

Large, rounded edges
The keyboard and palm rest are designed with large, rounded edges, giving the overall keyboard and palm rest a soft, visual effect.
Compared to the crisp, straight lines, the smooth, curved lines of the rounded edges are more ergonomic and provide a comfortable and harmonious feel. This rounded, organic form resonates with the warm, mellow texture of the walnut wood, creating a calm and refined aesthetic.
The application of these curved lines avoids the cold, rigid geometric forms, making the overall design more natural and humanistic..

The Dusk67 by KBDfans is a custom mechanical keyboard that not only combines aesthetics and performance but also demonstrates excellent craftsmanship. The build I opted for features a wooden case with a hot-swappable PCB and a polycarbonate plate. This setup is paired with Gateron Oil King switches, which are linear and produce a deep, satisfying sound, topped with GMK Red Samurai keycaps. These doubleshot ABS keycaps contribute to the deeper sound profile. This keyboard is ideal for enthusiasts who appreciate the use of natural materials.
In terms of functionality, this keyboard operates like any other—you simply plug it into your PC or laptop via USB, and you're ready to type. However, the premium materials used in both the wooden case and keycaps set it apart from the typical plastic keyboards commonly found on the market. It is a more niche product, primarily appealing to those who care about the craftsmanship and design of their peripherals.
The cost of this setup is steep at $387.35, which is significantly higher than most standard mechanical keyboards, even customized ones. Comparable wooden keyboards can be found on platforms like Amazon, Etsy, or AliExpress, often at a lower price. While these alternatives may not offer the same quality, they provide a similar aesthetic at a fraction of the cost.
Given its high price tag, I wouldn’t recommend this keyboard to the average user. Unless you are specifically seeking a wooden 65% keyboard with premium switches and keycaps, there are plenty of other more budget-friendly options available. The only real reason to splurge on this would be if you are deeply invested in custom mechanical keyboards.
Since I just got it yesterday and finished building it, I haven't had much time to extensively type on it and fully assess its feel. Based on its price, niche appeal, and the building experience, I would give it a rating of 5/5.
