DESIGN CONCEPT
For the 2019 Chinese Zodiac keyboard
For the 2019 Chinese Zodiac keyboard, Ducky is privileged to collaborate with Master Kulele Ruladen. We believe that this limited keyboard is a unification of technology and the Formosan culture, hoping to show their spiritual beliefs and vibrant culture to the rest of the world.
ART DESIGN
Inspiration from the rich history of the Paiwan people
This keyboard draws inspiration from the rich history of the Paiwan people, a significant indigenous group of Taiwan. Intricately designed by Master Kulele, a metal cut-out piece of a Cosmic God is found on the top side of the keyboard. The Paiwan people believe that wild boars were placed on this earth by the Cosmic god to teach them the meaning of bravery and vigor.
ART DESIGN
Dye-sublimation techniques featuring various pictograms
Bronze is commonly used as materials for aesthetic creation by the Paiwan society. After communicating with Master Kulele Ruladen, bronze-red was chosen to be presented on keycaps of this limited edition, plus dye-sublimation techniques featuring various pictograms. (e.g. axe, bow and arrow, vine)
STORIES BEHIND

The wild boar on the spacebar, noticeable hawk feather on its top represents the aristocracy class of men(the sun) and women(lily). The meadow beneath consists of triangular snake totems, which symbolized the ancestor of Paiwan people. All the patterns implicate the spirit of Paiwan culture.
