The Eye Has Arrived on the CSTM65
If the One Ring proves anything, it's that powerful things come in small packages. Taking after its maker, the Dark Lord Sauron, we're pouring his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life into the most compact member of our CSTM family. Introducing the Drop + The Lord of the Rings Black Speech CSTM65 Keyboard: a prebuilt that derives its power both from performance—but, like many things in Tolkien's world, from words themselves. In this case, we speak of Black Speech, the language of Mordor, brought to life here on the Training Kit from our MT3 Black Speech Keycap Set.We also speak of an actual physical case: the Black Speech CSTM65 Decorative Case, debuting here with custom Mordor-inspired artwork by OSHETART. Alongside that cruelty, malice, and will to dominate, it comes with yet another power: that of customization. Easily swap it out in seconds, thanks to magnetic attachment. Together with a veritable army of enthusiast components—including Gateron KS-3 Milky Yellow Pro Switches and Gateron PCBA-Mounted stabilizers—it's what makes this compact Black Speech build a trinket nearly as great and terrible as the One Ring itself.

- the inscription on the One Ring is not "a sinister scrawl", it's in an Elvish alphabet Tengwar that more or less all Middle-Earth used. There are a lot of people who can read it, and they would be the target audience - only this keyboard doesn't use the Tengwar values with any meaning, they just slapped the table of characters on the keyboard.
Just silly.
