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:
