The ‘Good Wood’ Keyboard
Project gwŷdd began after a search for non-tray mount wooden keyboards turned out fruitless. I knew there must be good reason why a two-piece, gasket mount wooden keyboard wasn't readily available, but nothing could prepare me for the gruelling journey that this project took me on.
熱改質的穩定
gwŷdd 計畫的起點，是因為遍尋不著非托盤式（non-tray mount）的木製鍵盤。我深知打造兩件式、墊片結構（gasket mount）的木製鍵盤難度極高，但這段充滿挑戰的研發旅程，依然超乎了我的想像。
To counter the "playful" nature of wood, I selected Taiwanese Acacia which had undergone Thermal Modification. The removal of moisture and carbohydrates from the wood using nothing but heat and a vacuum chamber fit the bill perfectly: a high density, stable wood material that did not use harmful chemicals or processes to produce.
為了克服木材「好動」的天性，我選擇了經過熱改性處理（Thermal Modification）的台灣相思木。僅利用熱能與真空環境去除木材中的水分與碳水化合物，不僅大幅提升了穩定性與密度，且不含任何有害化學成分。
After many trials and tribulations, we have arrived at the current iteration of the gwŷdd65 keyboard: a 65% gasket-mount keyboard made of pure wood. One which will experience minimal to no movement after production and during regular usage, which I sincerely hope you will cherish and enjoy.
歷經多次試驗與挑戰，我們終於迎來了 gwŷdd65 的最終型態：一把純木製、65% 比例的墊片結構鍵盤。它在生產後與日常使用中皆具備極高的穩定性，我由衷希望這件作品能成為您指尖上的珍藏。
