HEX.3Cv2

Plateless & O-ring Mounted 60%
With the release of our plateless 75% (HEX.4B) almost a year ago, we are happy to finally bring you the next iteration of our signature plateless o-ring mount in a smaller form-factor.
 

Introducing, the HEX.3Cv2
The 3Cv2 aims to harken back to the days where a humble PCB was all you needed for a great keyboard.




Plates? Never heard of em’
3Cv2 features a 1.2mm PCB (Powered by Mechlovin’) that sits on 8 Viton O-rings, spaced out evenly across its surface area.
This method of mounting makes a plate unnecessary, while providing a comfortably flexible typing experience.



The Purist’s Choice
Designed to sound clean and unadulterated, your switches finally get to take center stage.
No acoustic mods required.

Simplicity
Great effort was taken into making the assembly process as hassle-free as possible. The same no-frills approach was taken with the design aesthetic.
However, with no visible seams and a material contrast to boot, we consider this to be a visual upgrade from our first iteration of the 3C, 2 years ago.



Compatibility
Even though this board is designed to be PCB-mounted, it is compatible with most universal 60% plates that are in the market.
This opens the option for further tuning of your 3Cv2.
Alps fans, rejoice! The PCB for 3Cv2 will be alps compatible too.
MX/Alps compatible plates in limited layouts will be sold along with the kit during GB.
 


Underglow
Aside from providing a distinct sound signature, the sandblasted polycarbonate bottom case also provides great diffusion for some tasteful (or not) underglow RGB action.
Regardless of your preference, there will be 20 RGB LEDs under the PCB at your disposal. Use them as you please.
