Czar Keyboard

red dot award: product design 2009

The Czar Keyboard conveys a feeling of lightness and, at the same time, meets the challenge of creating the utmost in comfort with a sleek design. Illumination is the central design element of this keyboard while the clear polycarbonate edges underline the ultra-slim nature of the device. The considered choice of a matt-black surface draws the viewer’s attention to the backlit graphics, which are intended to enhance user-friendliness rather than please the eye. From the engineering of the typing keys to the smooth, rubberised palm rest, great care was taken to optimise the user interfaces. As such, the keyboard is suitable for those who prefer a mobile computer to a stationary computer in their private and professional environments.
