Quality Disclaimer

While we strive to provide a perfect experience no kit can be 100% flawless at our scale of production, as such the caveats are as follows:

No scratches on exposed / user facing parts of the keyboard (after installation of plate & PCB).

Possible machining marks / micro scratches on the inside of the kit / pieces not exposed to the user. This includes scratches arising from anodisation hooks.

Screw holes are NOT anodised.

Possible marks close to screw area.

Raw top and bottom pieces may have scratches present and are susceptible to scratches. These raw parts may also be tarnished over time if left uncoated.

Anodisation and e-coating variation may be present between top and bottom pieces.

Copper patina: Copper as a material tarnishes over time, you can clean it but note that it's a form of oxidation that we cannot control.

Marks / streaks that are not visible after assembly.

Please note that your purchase denotes agreement to group buy rules which include all the above.

A true classic, refined. The Kei v2, powered by our all-new BT chip is our take on next generation custom mechanical keyboards. It's simpler, lighter, and wayyyy more fun.
