The series, called Uppkoppla , is "in the line " meaning, providing players with custom peripheral products for 3D printing. The first products to be launched include a wrist rest, a more resilient keycap, and a mouse retainer.


The Uppkoppla collection was created by a craft created by Unyq , which uses human body scanning techniques to create 3D printing models that meet individual needs . The first prototypes and the APP for measuring biometrics will be released at IKEA's Year-end Product Summit, Democratic Design Days .

Unyq is on his Instagram to say: “The game players spend a lot of work every day sitting in front of the computer, which can bring great shoulders to the body. The goal of the three parties is to create a more ergonomic game. Accessories produce and slow down the pressure.
