ZHUHAI, China, May 28, 2021 — Angry Miao officially released its next-generation product in the CYBERBOARD series – "CYBERBOARD Le Smoking" on May 27, 2021. Not only has it been fully upgraded in terms of performance and design, it also took a large part of its inspiration from the matte and glossy elements from Yves Saint Laurent’s Le Smoking suit. Once again, Angry Miao presents a truly unique keyboard that breaks through the limitations of current manufacturing technology. The official retail price is 670 USD & 580 USD.

With regard to the bold design of this keyboard, Angry Miao founder Li Nan mentioned in an interview that "A good design is impossible without considering the cultural context behind the product. High-end fashion brands often inspire design trends within the consumer electronics industry. By paying homage to Saint Laurent and Hedi Slimane, we hope to take a leading role in moving the consumer electronics industry forward when it comes to design trends."

Matte and glossy design, a salute to Le Smoking by Hedi Slimane

CYBERBOARD R2 is inspired by the classic Saint Laurent Le Smoking suit, symbolizing the independent spirit of women. In the era of Hedi Silmane, with his signature slim cut, metal chain and Chelsea boots, Le Smoking gained popularity among men once again. The cool all-black design, with its contrast between matte and glossy materials, presents abundant texture and details, presenting a rebellious rock & roll spirit. 

CYBERBOARD Le Smoking comes in three matte and glossy color combinations: Jet Black, Psychedelic and Meteor Grey. All three evoke a tough, psychedelic look. The aluminum ingot frame on the front of the keyboard is formed through CNC machining, sandblasting, and several other complex polishing processes. Finally coated by a PVD vacuum furnace (the Meteor Grey variant is anodized), and a bright and shiny mirror-like surface is the end result.

On the sides, a precise, layered matte spraying process is used to create an advanced yet low-key matte texture, perfectly contrasting with the front. This combination of glossy and matte is a true homage to Le Smoking’s cross-generational design and appeal.

CYBERBOARD Le Smoking’s shiny matte surface is made of 100% aluminum alloy; a world-first in the computer electronics industry. Sandblasting and mirror polishing is used to ensure the feel and uniformity of the matte surface. Achieving a bright mirror-like effect is a true test for any part of the production process. With current manufacturing limitations, it is not yet 100% perfect. Therefore, there may still be small defects such as small white spots and minor color differences on the bottom of the shell. The all-new PVD direct plating process brings an unprecedented shiny mirror experience, but at the same time also may bring some subtle issues that might slightly affect the overall experience.

Gasket Mount: a transcendental feel and sound

In addition to its incredible color design, CYBERBOARD Le Smoking’s Gasket Mount is another true highlight. The upgraded Gasket Mount gives a better sound and feel to CYBERBOARD. It makes typing a graceful duet between you and your keyboard.

The new positioning plate has also been optimized and improved in several ways. Together with the hollowed out leaf spring-like structure, we have reduced the resonance and improved the spring action; making for a satisfying sound and resulting in a wondrous typing experience.

Le Smoking allows you to choose between four different plate materials, including Black Aluminum Plate (default), Psychedelic PVD Brass, Golden Black FR-4, and 1.5mm Translucent PC. Multiple choices for OGs like yourself.

DIY fun with new lighting effects

Besides brand-new design and upgraded gasket, the DIY lighting effects have also been significantly upgraded.

Le Smoking’s LED effect slots have jumped from one to three, providing you with greater creative flexibility. In addition, an in-switch lighting function has been added. Newly upgraded RGB hardware and 256-level DC dimming allows for a higher refresh rate and stronger color reproduction, giving you more DIY fun with every tap.

This upgrade removes the physical dual-mode switch and instead implements seamless switching between Bluetooth and wireless modes. For European users, a soldering PCB is also available as an additional option, providing greater versatility for users using an ISO layout.

Even more surprises: all-new keycaps and cyan-colored CYBERCOIN

In addition to the CYBERBOARD Le Smoking, Angry Miao is also launching the all-new Angry Miao 021C keycap set, Time Machine artisan keycap, The Chimney Cat artisan keycap (AFS) and a cyan-colored CYBERCOIN. These new accessories give users even more choices to match their setup perfectly.

TAIPEI, Sept. 18, 2020 — Due to the increasing importance of privacy protection to people today, TUV Rheinland has followed up on the success of its exclusive Eye Comfort certification by bringing the first Dynamic Privacy Filter (DPF) certification to the market this year. An HP monitor recently became the first product in the world to pass TUV Rheinland’s DPF certification process. The certification indicates that the product’s effective electronic privacy function protects the screen against prying eyes without sacrificing readability. The integrated electronic DPF function can be enabled at will, making the purchase and installation of privacy film products unnecessary.

HP Monitor Receives First TÜV Rheinland Dynamic Privacy Filter Certification

With the threat of visual hacking on business secrets, personal banking, and confidential data both in the office and at home, TUV Rheinland began developing certifications for privacy protection in 2017. While a number of well-known international brands, including 3M, have obtained certification for their privacy film products, TUV Rheinland’s newly developed DPF protection expands on this need in four main aspects: dynamic privacy, visual characteristics, reliability of privacy function, and user guide. "Dynamic" means that consumers can actively turn the privacy mode on or off. For business people and office workers concerned with privacy, or banks, government agencies, airports, and public spaces dealing with sensitive information, the user can turn on their privacy protection with the touch of a button to keep visual hackers at bay.

When the privacy function is turned on in DPF-certified products, brightness and contrast are reduced to reduce readability outside of the protected viewing angle. This helps to protect the privacy of screen contents. Certified products also provide the user with good visual characteristics, such as viewing angle, uniform brightness, and color consistency. Performance is not affected by the inclusion of the privacy function.

The HP E243p Sure View Monitor helps protect onscreen data with its integrated privacy that can be turned on and off instantly. Designed to shield sensitive content from prying eyes while keeping content clear for the primary user, the HP E243p Monitor is built with HP Sure View Gen3 technology. For instances when the user wants to collaborate or share their screen in-person, the integrated privacy screen can be turned off and back on at the touch of a button. The 23.8" diagonal Full-HD display additionally includes four-way ergonomics adjustments with HDMI, DisplayPort™, and VGA connections.

"People today now have higher expectations of privacy protection. DPF functionality will therefore become increasingly widespread," says Stanley Liu, head of the Ergonomics Technology Center, TUV Rheinland. "The DPF function of portable devices must take a number of different usage scenarios into account. If the user is on a plane, the close proximity of other people means more thought must be put into the design of the viewing angle to ensure privacy protection. Future improvements to the technology’s visual performance should offer strong market potential."

TUV Rheinland has been monitoring the impact of electronic display products on eye health, and is continuing to develop screen safety technologies. In addition to being the current leader in the number of monitor certifications issued, TUV Rheinland also operates the highest number of TCO-approved ergonomic labs in the world, and has US EPA-accredited labs as well.
