Please note that actual product colors may vary under different lighting conditions. Color differences between the render and the actual product will not be considered a quality issue.

Plates
The mainstream acoustic foams and pads for keyboards are typically placed between the PCB and plate or under the PCB. Plate options with cushions have a plate cushion layer above the plate itself. This innovative design helps concentrate the switch sounds and better showcases the sound characteristics of different switches.

PCBs
– Because the per-key RGB lighting significantly increases power consumption, the manufacturer strongly recommends choosing the non-RGB PCB for best battery performance.
