Screwless Quick Assembly System & Magnetic Connection Design
Catchball system GIF
The top and bottom cases can be assembled and disasembled with catchball, there are so many catchballs on the market but most of their elastic will decay after some time.
We spent over 2 months on sourcing a professional manufacturers and finally find one from the 8 we tried. They adjusted the elasticity and gap we needed, making a very good balance to fit into our design.
Magnetic connection system
Normal plug connectors are too big, and we must make sure it can fit our keyboard seamless for the perfect typing feel and sound we want. It's very uneasy for us to find existing one, we tried about 5, but the whole team felt that we should not compromise on this one. We really don't want to see it imperfect because of this, so we go deep into the rabbit hole (yes, product development is another rabit hole!!!!) and... CUSTOM IT AGAIN! Result was, 3 more weeks spent...

Ok, dang, you finally got me. Those backplates are amazing. Feels like there's too many options but that's what the keeb land is. Think I'll have to grab one of these. Two if I have the funds. Bravo.
