In terms of design, the width of the keyboard bezel is determined based on the keycap spacing, resulting in a natural and harmonious front proportion.

MX PCB LAYOUT

The Flora65 is also compatible with the Venom 65 HE PCB.
During the group buy, you can freely choose whether to include an MX PCB based on your needs.
STRUCTURE
We made different changes to the plate according to different materials and requirements.

For example, magnetic switches require cutouts on the plate, with standoffs securing the PCB tightly to the plate, while mechanical switches do not require this.
Stiffer plate materials pair with longer leaf springs to optimize typing feel, whereas softer plates require careful tuning to avoid excessive flex at the edges.
Dual-Mounting Gasket

The foam strips use a snap-in design.
No alignment or sticking is required, and it can be easily disassembled and replaced.

Silicone beans maximize the effectiveness of the leaf-spring structure, offering alternative sound and typing feel options.
The plate adopts a top-four / bottom-four mounting configuration.

If you prefer firmer support around the edge, you can optionally install two additional silicone gaskets in the reserved positions on the left and right sides of the PCB.
