Know before you buy
No, these components are specifically designed for the standard Transition TKL and are not compatible with the Transition Lite model.
You can choose between a soldered PCB for a fixed, stable build or hot-swap PCBs, which are available in either 6.25u or 7u bottom row layouts for easier switch installation without soldering.
Plate materials significantly alter the keyboard's stiffness and sound. FR4 and Carbon Fiber offer a firmer, more responsive feel, while PC and Polypropylene provide a softer, more flexible typing experience.
Depending on your plate choice, you can configure your build with gasket, top, or sandwich mounting styles. Note that the 4mm plate options are specifically intended for sandwich mounting.
The Poron force break stickers are used to dampen vibrations and eliminate case ping. Applying them between the top and bottom case halves helps refine the acoustic profile of your keyboard.
The optional foam pack includes white case foam, white plate foam, and PE foam. These are designed to help you further customize the sound signature by reducing hollow resonance and modifying the switch acoustics.
