ODIN R4

Are you getting sick of the tiny layouts? Let's meet the Odin!
The design is inspired by the Stora Hammars 1 stone which depicts the Valknut, Odin's cult symbol.
Speaking of Odin, he is the All-Father. He is associated with that is good (wisdom, healing, royalty, knowledge, battle, victory, poetry, a husband to the Goddess Frigg) and the bad (death, the gallows, war, frenzy).
Odin represents the ALL, the EVERYTHING, which is what KBDfans wants to project in a keyboard with a 100% layout.

About the case:

1. Keyboard case - If you see any resemblance of marks or foreign material under 2 mm (tool marks, stain, dent, sand mark, scratch, etc.), you're not eligible for Return & Refund.

2. Brass weight - If you see any resemblance of marks or foreign material under 2 mm (tool marks, stain, dent, sand mark, scratch, etc.), you're not eligible for Return & Refund.

3. Case interior - Based on the production method of anodizing and spraying, the product can lead to some smearing at the surface level, and you'll see some hook marks within the case. Also, the spraying process can not guarantee that the color will look 100% the same on the internal case corners. The color off on the interior case and the interior corners are not eligible for Return & Refund.

4. The PVD laser weight and badge have random colors due to the process. Each color will not be exactly the same, there will be different color variations!

Attention:
-Make sure to QC your keyboard case and weight before building it. For any issues besides the three above, please get in touch with our customer support agents to get help.
-For anything built is not eligible for Return & Refund.

Features

Compared to the traditional square-corner design, the Odin features a R-corner at the back to give the board a softer and more streamlined profile. The R-corner was also incorporated for your comfort and ergonomics as it makes room for you to slip your fingers underneath for easier moving of the board to so you can get the best typing experience.

To let the board stand out amongst the rest, Odin's Valknut is featured prominently on the front of the board with the RGB logo and in the engraving on the back weight.
