Know before you buy

The kit includes the aluminum case, PCB, stainless steel plate, and mounting hardware, but it does not come with keycaps or switches. You will need to source these separately to finish your build.
The custom EC PCB allows you to adjust the actuation point of your switches via QMK/VIA/VIAL firmware. This lets you customize how deep you need to press a key before it registers, providing a tailored typing experience.
The Adore EC 75 uses Topre EC switches, which are not compatible with standard MX-style mechanical keycaps. You must use keycaps specifically designed for Topre-style stems.
