Know before you buy
The Aluminum plate offers a stiffer, more rigid typing feel with a metallic sound profile, while the Polycarbonate plate provides more flex and a softer, deeper acoustic signature.
No, the hot-swap PCB allows you to simply push your mechanical switches into the sockets without the need for any soldering or specialized tools.
The kit includes case foam to fill the bottom of the chassis, PCB foam to sit between the PCB and plate, and switch pads to provide additional sound dampening and a cleaner typing tone.
The PCB is designed for standard MX-style mechanical switches. The 1.2 mm thickness is a specific standard, so ensure your case and stabilizers are compatible with this thinner profile.
No, the kit comes complete with the necessary daughterboard and JST cable, ensuring you have everything required for a successful internal connection.
