Know before you buy
No, this kit is specifically designed for ANSI layout keyboards. Please verify that your keyboard case and mounting style are compatible with the Tiger Lite components before purchasing.
No, the hot-swap PCB allows you to plug in mechanical switches directly without any soldering. This makes it easy to swap out switches whenever you want to experiment with different tactile or linear feels.
The silicone socks are used to mount the plate, which helps isolate vibrations and creates a softer, more cushioned typing feel. They are essential for achieving the signature 'flex' and refined acoustic profile associated with this kit.
The tape mod materials are used to apply a layer of tape to the back of your PCB. This simple modification helps deepen the sound signature of your switches and reduces unwanted high-pitched resonance.
Yes, a polycarbonate plate is significantly more flexible than aluminum or brass. It provides a softer, more forgiving typing experience that many enthusiasts prefer for its muted, pleasant sound profile.
The stabilizer shims are designed to ensure your stabilizers fit snugly against the PCB. This helps eliminate rattling and ensures a more consistent, stable feel when pressing larger keys like the spacebar or enter key.
