Know before you buy
The split plate design is engineered to produce a higher-pitched sound profile compared to traditional mounting styles. It also ensures a consistent typing feel across the entire board by providing uniform support.
The 9-degree angle is a steeper incline than many standard keyboards, designed to reduce wrist strain during long typing sessions. It promotes a more natural hand position, though it may feel different if you are accustomed to flatter boards.
You can choose between brass, stainless steel, or copper for the internal and external weights. While they all provide a premium, dense heft to the board, the material choice primarily affects the aesthetic finish and the overall weight distribution of the keyboard.
No, this is a kit that includes the case, weights, PCB, and necessary hardware. You will need to provide your own switches, stabilizers, and keycaps to complete the build.
The Constance TKL is available in both WK (with blocker) and WKL (winkeyless) layouts. Both versions follow the F13 TKL (88%) configuration, giving you the classic tenkeyless look with an extra function key.
The kit includes a 1.6mm FR4 PCB that supports standard mechanical switches. It connects via USB-C and utilizes a daughterboard for a clean, reliable connection.
