[Group-Buy] Bowl x Alexotos Schema M60

Intro: Schema is the second keyboard designed by Bowl Keyboards and Alexotos. Throughout the design of the Schema there was a shared goal with the manta of designing something that could stand out on it's own while still being timeless.

We squared off the bottom pillars and added a cherry lip to have a more angular design. Engraved lines on the back of the top case and external screws add visual interest as you look at different areas of the keyboard. MOUNTING DESIGN For both myself, bowl, and alexotos we keep coming back to the poron gasket mount as something that is tried and true letting you use different plates and switches to find a combination that you like.
