VINT = Vintage
Inspired by classic industrial design, with sharp contours and mechanical character.
EM = Emotional

VINTEM
——Vintage in form, emotional at its core. A keyboard designed for a lasting relationship—one that invites you to turn its controls again and again.
Industrial Design-Multifunctional Integrated Large Knob Design
The design of VINTEM75 begins with a simple idea: a keyboard should have its own visual signature.
Its clean, geometric frame is machined from a single block of aluminum, balancing minimal surfaces with a strong industrial presence. The 39mm oversized rotary knob sits prominently in the upper-right corner, becoming the defining visual element of the keyboard.
More than a decorative accent, the knob is engineered as a functional component:
Bearing-supported structure for stable rotation
Zero-center wobble design for precise control
Carefully tuned encoder resistance for smooth yet confident feedback
One glance identifies the keyboard. One turn defines the experience.
Structure — Add Precision, Remove Redundancy
VINTEM75 adds complexity only where it matters.
The rotary knob features an internal bearing linkage system that keeps the rotation centered and stable. Its tactile resistance was tuned repeatedly to preserve the satisfying “click-by-click” certainty of vintage controls while remaining fluid during continuous scrolling.
Everywhere else, we chose simplicity:The result is a Gasket-mounted internal structure focused on what truly matters: comfort, consistency, durability, and long-term reliability.
