❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between 35g and 45g switches?

A: The number indicates actuation force. 35g switches are lighter and require less pressure (ideal for fast typing), while 45g switches provide more tactile feedback and resistance (preferred by those who like a firmer feel).

Q: Do I need soldering experience for the Self-Assembly Kit?

A: The kit requires moderate technical skill for assembly. If you're new to mechanical keyboards or Topre switches, we recommend the pre-assembled "No Keycap" or "Complete" options.

Q: What keycaps are compatible with this keyboard?

A: Any Cherry MX compatible keycaps will work thanks to the included MX slider adapters. The Complete Kit includes PBT XDA profile keycaps in your choice of black or white.

Q: Can I customize the key layout?

A: Yes! The keyboard supports VIAL firmware allowing full remapping of every key, macros, and layers without additional software installation.

Q: What is the Corne layout?

A: The Corne (also known as Crkbd) is a popular 40-42 key split ergonomic layout designed to minimize finger movement and promote better typing posture.
