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.

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.
