Know before you buy
This case is designed for standard mechanical keyboards that utilize MX-style switches. Because keyboard mounting points vary significantly between brands, we recommend verifying that your specific PCB and plate assembly are compatible with standard aluminum aftermarket cases before purchasing.
The E-Coating provides a smooth, refined surface that feels distinct from standard anodized aluminum, offering a tactile experience often described as silky. This finish is highly durable and resistant to fingerprints, ensuring the gradient aesthetic remains pristine over time.
Yes, switching from a plastic case to this aluminum alloy housing will typically result in a deeper, more resonant sound profile. The density of the metal helps reduce hollow vibrations, providing a more solid and premium acoustic feedback.
The Sakura aesthetic is achieved through a specialized E-Coating gradient process applied directly to the aluminum alloy. This ensures the color transition is seamless, integrated into the finish rather than applied as a surface decal.
Installation requires standard precision screwdrivers to remove your existing PCB and plate assembly. While the process is straightforward, ensure you have the correct hex or Phillips head drivers compatible with your specific keyboard's mounting hardware.
