Introducing the Bauer Lite: X-Ray Edition, a collaboration with Matthew Encina from Mod Musings. This special edition board utilizes the distinctive characteristics of injection molded plastic to produce a stunning clear-on-white design that perfectly complements the X-Ray keycaps.
Introducing
BAUER LITE: X-RAY EDITION
When we first got involved in the X-Ray project with Matthew Encina, designing a special edition Bauer Lite for the X-Ray collection was a no-brainer. The qualities of injection-molded plastic make it the perfect medium to produce a clear-on-white design that complements the X-Ray keycaps flawlessly. The end result is a ghost top with custom white X-Ray graphics, a white opaque bottom and plate, all-white bumpers, and an exclusive white silicone plate layer. The white graphics on the ghost top achieve the same low-contrast, white-on-white effect as the keycaps while also showing depth when shadows hit the internal white bottom. This collaboration seamlessly pairs with the X-Ray keycaps, making it a standout piece in the X-Ray collection.

X-Ray Keycaps
X-Ray is a keycap set that features a clear-on-white, low-contrast design, paying tribute to transparent tech peripherals. Inspired by these devices, these translucent keycaps highlight the internal structures and construction properties that define them.
From certain perspectives, these keycaps almost appear blank. Yet, when any directional light source shines on them, it casts shadows, revealing the depth of the legends.
X-Ray Artisan
Designed by maxvoltar in collaboration with the set, the X-Ray artisan pushes the limits on the transparent theme with a modular design.
The bottom is made out of machined aluminum with a white powder coating and features some infill details to add a subtle pop of color. The top is delicately machined polycarbonate, held in place with an M1.6 screw. The result is an artisan you've never seen before, a perfect match for the X-Ray keycaps.

“The design for X-Ray Collection comes from a combination of three things: the nostalgia (and resurgence) of the transparent tech trend from my childhood, my current obsession with translucent polycarbonate keyboards, and my appreciation for minimal design aesthetics.”
