Know before you buy
No, the Sugar65 is a barebones kit. You will need to purchase your own mechanical switches and keycaps separately to complete the build.
The PCB features full-key hot-swappable sockets that are compatible with the vast majority of standard 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches, giving you plenty of flexibility for your preferred typing feel.
The gasket-mounted design allows the plate to 'float' slightly, providing a softer, more flexible typing feel compared to traditional tray-mount keyboards. Combined with the quad-layered padding, it helps produce a cleaner, more muted sound profile.
Yes, the chassis is CNC machined from 6063 aluminum alloy and features an anodized finish. This construction provides a premium, heavy-duty feel that is significantly more rigid and durable than plastic alternatives.
Yes, the keyboard features dynamic RGB backlighting that can be adjusted for various lighting effects and colors to suit your aesthetic preferences.
These stabilizers are designed to keep larger keys, like the spacebar and enter key, stable and consistent. They help prevent rattling and ensure that the keys feel balanced regardless of where you press them.
