By the way, if you answered “both”, you’re exactly right. (And yes, this is going to be one hell of a ramble–you’ve been warned. But if you’re like me and you enjoy a little bit of lesser-known trivia for a ubiquitous peripheral, read on.)

The keyboard in question has to be a custom mechanical keyboard because no one running a large-scale peripherals company responsibly will think this is ever a good idea for a mass-market keyboard.
Adding mass to the keyboard housing improves stability but more importantly, it reduces the potential that the case will give off a metallic ping. That hollowness is commonplace for keyboards with thin metal bodies made to a budget . At the same time, keyboards don’t have to be that hefty; you can have a keyboard that sounds subjectively good by most enthusiasts without all that weight.
It’s a stark contrast to the deeper sounding boards that the Western communities tended to favour for a time , and the foam-shaped ‘mahjong tile’ sounds that are all the rage in China, perpetuated by the Owllabs Jelly Epoch that was famous for its generous use of Poron and IXPE foam . The modern gaming keyboard owes a lot to these original customs. While information about the subject is somewhat sketchy and somewhat tricky to verify, and a lot of publicly-known knowledge is written after the fact–not too different from the Bible to be fair–this is pretty much a fair summary with nothing too contentious.
The most recognisable example is probably the KBDfans KBD67 Lite, which was once the de facto starter board for a generation of enthusiasts. Its familiar side arches are an unabashed tip of the hat to an iconic keyboard from OTD: the Koala, designed by forum member Korellas. It’s little touches like these that live on, long after nobody remembers the original.
And yet, as modern custom keyboards try to innovate with outlandish designs, creative mounting systems and meticulously tuned housings, sometimes it’s the simplest things that endure. The top-mounted keyboard, which is the oldest mounting style in the custom mechanical keyboard hobby, is somewhat coming back into fashion.
