Hello,
I wanted to create a keyboard that satisfies both enthusiasts who prefer a stiff typing experience and those who prefer a softer feel. I thought it would be interesting to incorporate hollow silicone tubes squeezed between the plate. To clarify, the tubes themselves are very soft and squishy, but when they are mounted, they provide a stiff typing experience. However, due to the small contact point between the tube and the plate, they also absorb shock, resulting in a consistent typing experience.

If you prefer a classic feeling, you can also use a top mount on this board, or you can modify the top mount and use a burger mount with the tubes.

For those who enjoy a softer typing experience, you can use the Poron gasket.
