The Ducky Year of the Snake 2025 Limited Edition Keyboard draws inspiration from the hundred-pace viper, a powerful symbol in the traditional totems of the Paiwan, an indigenous people of Taiwan. Designed by Paiwan artisan Tjaiping (Huang Hao-Che), this keyboard seamlessly merges the tribe’s rich aesthetic heritage with modern craftsmanship. With every keystroke, you can feel the pulse of ancient culture beneath your fingertips, as if each press tells a timeless story.


In Paiwan culture, the hundred-pace viper holds sacred significance, revered as the embodiment of ancestral spirits or a guardian deity. According to legend, the viper is deeply connected to the noble lineage of the Paiwan people, symbolizing authority and prestige. Its totem frequently appears in house carvings and traditional clothing, representing family honor and ancestral blessings. The Paiwan people also believe the hundred-pace viper brings prosperity and protection, making it an integral part of their heritage and rituals. The keycaps are crafted using dye-sublimation techniques, ensuring a faithful reproduction of the hundred-pace viper and Paiwan tribal totems. The beige bottom case is adorned with striking hundred-pace viper patterns and sun totems, bringing the artistic vision to life.
