Know before you buy
The FLX Virgo weight is designed to add heft to your mechanical keyboard. By increasing the overall mass, it provides a more stable typing experience and a distinct, premium feel compared to a standard build.
This weight is specifically engineered for compatibility with the FLX R1 model. It is not designed for universal use across other mechanical keyboards.
While the exterior faces of the mirror-polished weights are highly reflective, PVD coatings may occasionally feature minor imperfections on the interior surfaces. These are standard for the manufacturing process and do not affect the weight's performance or exterior aesthetic.
The clear coated brass offers a classic, raw metal aesthetic that is protected from oxidation by a transparent coating. In contrast, the PVD options provide a more modern, colored metallic look with increased durability against surface wear.
No. The mirror polish is applied specifically to the exterior face of the weight. The interior surfaces are finished to a functional standard but do not receive the same high-gloss mirror treatment.
