Hotswap / Solderable PCBs (by Mechlovin')

Custom F12 TKL PCB with H87 mounting post positions & JST footprint. Extended to work with Cloudline V2 LED breakout board for front RGB accent. 

Solderable: Supports ANSI F12 TKL Tsangan layout with options for stepped caps-lock, split left shift, split backspace, split right shift, and ISO enter. (1 included in keyboard kit)

Hotswap: Supports ANSI F12 TKL Tsangan layout with options for stepped caps-lock, split right shift, split backspace. Note that some F-row switches are inverted to allow for mounting post clearance. Note: It's highly recommended to use a solderable PCB for o-ring mount for more secure switch fitment. In addition, screw-in stabilizers on hotswap PCBs will not work with o-ring mount. Hard typists and flexible builds may have greater chance of bottoming out with hotswap PCBs due to increased height from sockets.

Note: On hotswap PCBs, split right-shift is NOT supported. There is an extra socket on the PCB which has no function. To reflect this, the price has been lowered to match the Soldered variant. Otherwise, these are visually and functionally perfect PCBs!

Plate Materials

• Aluminum full plate: anodized black (1 included in keyboard kit)
• Aluminum half plate: anodized black
• Polypropylene full plate: black (very dark gray)
• Polycarbonate full plate: dyed smoke gray

Plates are ANSI-layout only. Plate files may be released later for ISO customization. Note that plastic plate details may slightly vary from renders due to the manufacturing process.

Aluminum Internal Frame

By default, all Cloudline V2 kits come with a pre-installed brass internal frame. Brass, being a denser material, not only provides a very slight bump in weight, but also lends to greater vibration absorption and dampening. 

If you'd like to experiment with an aluminum internal frame, you may find that it leads to a slightly more resonant sound which may be to your liking.

O-ring Options

• 30A o-ring: Off-white (light gray) silicone
• 50A o-ring: Translucent clear silicone (1 included in keyboard kit)
• 70A o-ring: Dark gray silicone
