Know before you buy
No, the KBD67 Lite is a barebones kit. You will need to purchase your own mechanical switches and keycap set separately to complete the build.
It is very straightforward thanks to the hot-swap sockets. You simply align the pins of your chosen switches with the sockets on the PCB and press them into place—no soldering required.
The gasket mount allows the plate and PCB assembly to 'float' slightly within the case rather than being screwed directly to it. This results in a softer, more flexible typing feel and a more consistent sound profile across the board.
The board supports most standard 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style mechanical switches. It is not compatible with optical or low-profile switches.
Yes, the board features per-key RGB lighting. You can adjust the colors and lighting effects using compatible keyboard configuration software like VIA.
The keyboard is designed with a fixed 6-degree typing angle, which provides a comfortable, ergonomic incline for most users during extended typing sessions.
