(In Progress) EE-AT
EE-AT Interest Check
EE-AT is a collaboration between Egypt, Brick, and BowlKeyboards. This board takes the W1-AT form factor and mounting style, and introduces a lower typing angle along with a little inspiration borrowed from IBM, GEON, and most importantly, Edward and Ein from Cowboy Bebop!
A message from the designers Egypt and Brick:
"Edward and Ein, from the critically acclaimed animated series Cowboy Bebop, represent something special to the two of us, a liminality that often goes unnoticed. Characters like Spike, Jet, or Faye who reside at the forefront of the plot tend to be well-understood and loved, and rightfully so; however we feel that Ed and Ein are the underdogs of our beloved space-traveling bounty hunters.
To us, this lovable duo became the glue that kept the gang together and keep the show feeling light-hearted, even at the height of the greatest perils that they face. It’s no coincidence that upon their departure from the gang to live out their lives, the mood of the show takes a somber turn as we then lose our favorite bounty hunter gang, one by one.
Ed and Ein represent the ability for one to take joy in life and to remember to revel in lightheartedness amongst the rough times, as well as the desire to go beyond the fear of the unexpected to find our truest selves, an attitude that has been fostered within us by the keyboard hobby, and one which we wish to bring forward with the contribution of the EE-AT project."
