The First Angel—Adam「By Boyu」

Innovation and individuality are the heart of great design. As KBDcraft's first product, the Adam keyboard is more than just a starting point—it's a revolutionary fusion of cross-tech inspiration and creative craftsmanship. By integrating LEGO bricks into electronic design, Adam shatters the traditional mold of mechanical keyboards, offering users an unparalleled level of creative freedom. At the same time, it pays tribute to the legendary anime Neon Genesis Evangelion (EVA), reflects Boyu's relentless pursuit of innovation, and embodies KBDcraft's dedication to an exceptional user experience. 

Adam: KBDcraft's First Angel

Adam isn’t just KBDcraft’s first product—it symbolizes the spirit of innovation that defines the brand. For designer Boyu, Adam represents more than a keyboard; it's an expression of belief, challenge, and breakthrough.

The design was inspired by the powerful and enigmatic Adam Angel from Evangelion, a figure that represents origin, strength, and infinite possibilities. Just as the Adam Angel marks the beginning of life within the EVAuniverse, the Adam keyboard marks a bold new chapter for KBDcraft.

But Adam isn’t simply an homage to anime; it’s a deeper expression of Boyu's creative philosophy. To him, a keyboard is more than a tool for typing—it’s a medium for self-expression, creative exploration, and joy. The Adam keyboard is the ultimate embodiment of that belief.

Design Inspiration: From Angelic Origins to Limitless LEGO Art

While the Adam keyboard draws aesthetic inspiration from the mysterious and powerful Adam Angel, its core design philosophy is all about turning a keyboard into a canvas for creativity.

The Infinite Possibilities of LEGO: Boyu broke free from conventional keyboard design by integrating LEGO bricks into electronics, creating a modular mechanical keyboard like no other. Users can build and customize their keyboard exterior, crafting a truly one-of-a-kind design. This approach doesn't just redefine the keyboard's shape but also turns creativity into an interactive experience, giving each user a unique sense of participation and accomplishment.

A Personal Creative Experience: Just as the Adam Angel evolves in the anime, the Adam keyboard evolves with each user. Through detachable and customizable designs, users can choose their own brick formations, tweak layouts, and even swap colors and accessories to craft a keyboard that fits their aesthetic and functional preferences.

Breaking the Boundaries of Electronics: Adam isn't just an electronic product—it's a work of art. Boyu's vision was to challenge the idea that tech has to be cold and rigid. With Adam, the keyboard becomes a stage for creativity, a platform to showcase individuality and passion.

Design Details: Every Piece Built for Creation

Adam strikes the perfect balance between function and form. Boyu followed the principle that "form follows function" to ensure that every design element is both beautiful and practical.

Brick Structure & Screw-Free Design

Adam’s case is made up of 27 independent parts and a total of 97 pieces, crafted from high-quality ABS plastic. The brick structure mirrors the precision and flexibility of LEGO, making it easy for users to disassemble and reassemble their designs for a fully hands-on DIY experience.

The screw-free design is another highlight. No tools are needed—just your hands and creativity. Swap out pieces, change the look, and reinvent your keyboard whenever inspiration strikes.

Gasket Mount & POM Plate

Built with a gasket mount structure and a POM positioning plate, Adam offers a soft yet responsive typing feel. The high-toughness POM material ensures durability while reducing resonance, delivering a quieter and more comfortable typing experience.

Hot-Swappable & RGB Lighting

Adam supports hot-swappable switches, allowing users to change MX switches without soldering—perfect for customizing your typing experience. Plus, with RGB lighting powered by QMK/VIAL configuration tools, users can fine-tune every lighting detail to create the perfect atmosphere.

From Inspiration to Experience: Adam Redefines Creative Play

Throughout the design process, Boyu focused on one question: "How can electronics be more fun and creative?"

Freedom to Create, Control Every Detail Adam isn’t just about typing—it’s about crafting. Every part is built to give users maximum creative freedom.

LEGO-Inspired Design: Customize the exterior, swap bricks, change layouts. Each piece is a new opportunity to express your style.

Modular Expansion: Add a number pad or other components as needed, for a setup that fits every scenario.

Personalized Customization: Use QMK/VIAL to program keys and customize lighting, creating an experience that's truly yours.

The First Bold Fusion of LEGO and Electronics Adam isn't just a product; it's an experiment in creativity, play, and individuality. It breaks the mold of traditional electronics, inviting users to find joy in every build, every teardown, every re-creation.

KBDcraft's Vision: Innovation Starts with Modularity

At KBDcraft, we believe that electronics are more than functional tools—they are platforms for creativity. Adam is the embodiment of that belief.

Our goal is to empower every user to express themselves through our products. Every brick, every module, is an extension of your individuality—a statement, an exploration, a creation.

In the world of KBDcraft, there are no rules—only endless possibilities.
