What's the hardness of the rubber standoffs?

Pretty soft.

If you're still in an experimental phase, I definitely recommend trying harder material as well. Too much softness can be unpleasant for some users or build configurations (eg silent switches and certain tactiles). Or would it be possible to include/offer different hardness parts?

The current configuration is what we plan to offer. Modifications might come in the future, however, we have other products if you want a firmer typing experience.

Thanks for the video, however can you do one with better lighting or at least a darker color case? The silver case on white is pretty hard to see on my phone.
And possibly do a full 360?

:D

So much thanks!

I'm excited for this tray mount!

Are you going to be making these in R1 Grey? Or are you limiting it to black, silver, and ultramarine?

Looking forward to the sound test! haven't ordered mine yet, but will be on wed when my check hits. Question though, I recently got my Klippe-T & opted to use just the four side standoffs like the Type-X. Which turned out great for the most part & gave my ALPS64 build a much more flexier & refined feel compared to using all the standoffs. The only issue I ran into using it this way is that by having just either side attached the PCB/plate combo tends to bow up in the middle from the pressure on either side with nothing holding it down in the middle. Do you have any tips for reducing or eliminating this effect? I should say I did use a MKUltra foam between the case & PCB, but the fit perfectly lined up with the top of the standoffs. The best way to mitigate the bowing in the middle I found was to just snug the screws enough where some resistance is felt & watching the caps on the back to see how much the middle is bowing. This worked really well & let me get the PCB/plate installed where it does not look bowed up in the middle, but having the screws just slightly tightened worries me a little bit. Any input on this would be highly appreciated!

Hoping to see that typing test before ordering one as well!

Also, can we have more photos of a full build? Looks cool sideways from the existing photos but I just want to be sure.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi, we are working on a Round 2.

Meanwhile, we have Klippe T available for the fourth round on Mekanisk.com.

Hi LeandreN, what would be the main big difference in terms of typing experience between the Tx and the Klippe?(waiting for the TypeX patiently [it was nice watching Brian starting to test ≠ configurations)
