Know before you buy
The plate material significantly changes the keyboard's stiffness and sound profile. Polycarbonate offers a softer, more flexible typing experience, while Aluminum provides a firmer, more consistent feel. FR4 serves as a balanced middle ground, offering a slightly deeper sound signature than aluminum.
The 1.2mm non-flex cut hot-swap PCB is designed for a more consistent feel across the board. The 1.6mm solder PCB is the standard thickness, offering a stiffer typing experience and broader compatibility with various stabilizers.
The foam kit includes case foam, PCB foam, and switch pads. These components work together to absorb hollow echoes and dampen high-pitched vibrations, resulting in a cleaner, more muted sound profile.
Yes, the accent strips are primarily for visual customization, allowing you to match the exterior of your Pluto to your keycap set or desk setup. They are made from high-quality PVD-coated brass, ensuring a premium finish that resists fingerprints and wear.
The hot-swap PCBs are compatible with standard Cherry MX-style switches. This includes most popular mechanical switches from brands like Gateron, Kailh, and Durock, provided they feature the standard 3-pin or 5-pin design.
Yes, the O-ring Gasket mount is designed to decouple the plate from the case, which provides a more cushioned and uniform typing feel. It helps eliminate the harshness often found in top-mounted or tray-mounted keyboards.
