As our first keyboard design we wanted to do something sleek and minimal for our desk spaces.
We've designed a compact board with a weighty feel and style that contrasts with its soft typing experience.
The PLX is comprised of a 3 layer construction. The top and middle cases are machined from solid billet 6063 aluminium and feature soft chamfered edges and modern rounded corners. The solid brass (or stainless steel) base weight is fastened through the plate and PCB to achieve an entirely screwless appearance.
Inside, your choice of plate material is mounted between gasket strips, with kerf cuts in the north and south ends of the plate. Each keystroke has a soft bottom out and quick return.
Offered in winkey and winkeyless design our variable soldered layout will please any compact connoisseur.
