Cisne Suika 's Cisne is a cool 40% monoblock with 5% tenting.
KBD.news Published March 4, 2022
What a good idea! Why aren't more monoblock splits out there with tented "halves"?
I mean, there was the Je Sus featured recently, and the Hakkei prototype is something similar too, but Suika's Cisne seems to get the job done with a simple bent plate.
Features:
5° tented top case (with magnets)
sculpted bottom case (with magnets)
gasket mount
HHKB Alice-like layout
8° typing angle
While the Cisne is in IC phase, Ken apparently has a nice prototype already:

And here is the bent plate for inspiration:
