Inner StructureWe have made some changes compared to IC
●Remove the bottom copper shell ,●Three custom srping change to two kind of spring
●Hotswap pcb not support 2x1U(Backspace),●Keyboard weight add aluminum weights
This time, we tried something new regarding the inner structure's fixation method. We've adopted a spring fixation structure:
●The bottom has springs that act as support points for the positioning plate.
●Between the spring and the positioning plate, we've fixed silicone particles to act as buffers(both the silicone and springs are custom-made).
●Horizontally, we've taken measures to prevent lateral movement. This doesn't mean your inner structure will be immobile;it will only move within a reasonable range without affecting the springs.
●Vertically, the downward pressure ensures the springs are held firmly in place. Compared to the gasket,it offers better fatigue resistance, consistent touch, and quicker rebound. The spring is twisted and fixed to the bottom pillar (repeated disassembly might cause some wear, which is normal).We will offer two custom spring strengths.
●You can choose between pvd black/ pvd silver/pvd rose gold/ aluminum black /aluminum E white

Q/AQ:Why doesn't 3ildcat post anything?
A:He is serving in the military and cannot be contacted.
Q:Is collaboration design real?
A: Yes, we came to an agreement and got his approval
Q:Is the spring easy to replace?
A:The spring is rotated and stuck on the bottom. It is relatively simple to replace. We will provide a more convenient replacement method after the group purchase is completed, so don't worry.
Q:Will the spring lose its elasticity easily?
A:It will become weaker but it takes a long time. We will give a lot more springs. After the group purchase is completed, we will continue to sell additional springs.
Q:Which surface treatment is more durable?
A:Power coated > Anodied > E coated
Q:Will PCBs always be in stock?
A:Would be good to take extra pcb as backup ,sometimes it wont have much extra
