Hi everyone

Following the metal version, the Polycarbonate  (PC) version of Hippo80 is now available.

The PC version keeps the same overall structure and layout as Hippo80, and offers a more translucent look

with a softer visual and acoustic character.

It is designed for users who enjoy RGB under glow

lighting and a clear or frosted appearance.
