    FAQs

    How to take care of the marble?

    Each manufactured piece will have a unique look and will not be the same as the one on the photos above.

    Marble is a material sensitive to acid corrosion. This piece of marble has been coated to improve the resistance to such damages, however, please, do not spread acid liquids or products on it such as fruit juices, food, detergents.

    Does the marble feel cold?

    The marble has a thermal conductivity higher than wood but lower than metal. Therefore, if there is a big difference between your body temperature and the ambient temperature, the marble will cool down your wrist.

    In conclusion, except if the ambient temperature is freezing cold, you will only have a pleasant cooling feeling, similar to a glass table or kitchen countertop.

    Does the marble wrist rest feel hard or uncomfortable?

    The first purpose of a wrist rest is to elevate your wrists to the level of the keyboard.

    For instance, as most mechanical keyboards are high (2 cm), if you keep typing a long time without wrist rest, your wrists will feel tired or even painful at the end of the day. Therefore, this wrist rest perfectly serves this purpose, however, it will not provide any cushioning. The cushioning will be the same as a wood or glass table.

  • Have you ever been bandaid modding and thought “this is pretty tedious”? We’ve got you covered! Thanks to the folks at Upgrade Keyboards, we’ve been provided with stabilizer pads that serve as a high-quality replacement for band-aid modding. With a custom mix of silicone and rubber for the pad, the stab pad has been developed to prevent bottom-out noise from stabilizers on the PCB as well as potential damage. Due to the materials used for the pads, they also provide a deep, muted tone in comparison to the loud clack sans-pad. 3M adhesive on the underside of the pad will prevent slippage as well!

    Two variants are available for the pads:

    • 0.2mm: best for clip-in PCB mount and those that want a harder bottom-out feeling
    • 0.5mm: best for all other stabilizers, as some of the clip-in PCB mount stabilizers don’t anchor into the PCB strongly enough for the thicker pad

    Each variant has its own attractive points to them: the 0.2mm will have a slightly lower tone than band-aids, and the 0.5mm are approximately 300% quieter (as per Upgrade Keyboards), with a considerably lower tone. Both pads will spring back slightly as to not result in a mushy feeling. They are also compatible with PCB- and plate-mount stabilizers, cut perfectly to size for both. Just make sure that if you previously had band-aids or stabilizers mounted on the PCB to clean off any potential lubricant, as this will cause the stab pad to slide.

  • TX springs have been kindly supplied by TX Keyboards, a Korean-based company that provides high-quality springs at an affordable price. Due to the quality control extent that TX Keyboards has gone through, these springs will not have a deviation outside of -1/+1 for spring weight.

    They have provided a wide variety of spring weights; the force of these spring weights is measured at bottom-out. Differently-weighted springs will feel different depending on what type of switch they are put into, and it is important to understand that it can drastically change how the switch performs.

    The difference in the spring length will affect the initial force for the keypress, but does not affect the bottom-out weight. So, the 16mm springs will have a higher initial weight than the 14mm springs, but the bottom-out weight will be the same on both.

  • TX switch films have been kindly supplied by TX Keyboards, a Korean-based company that provides high-quality polycarbonate films to improve the overall feeling of the switch. As the community continues to expand and switches continue to be developed, these films stay at the forefront of achieving the elusive endgame, wherever that may be.

    These extremely thin polycarbonate films rest on the bottom housing of the switch during application.. When closed, they reduce the stem’s directional wobble and increase the tolerance of the two in combination while not increasing friction.

    TX has slightly reworked their design by removing the bar that is towards the bottom of the film and instead has two short nubs. This simply makes it easier for the film to sit in the switch during application.

    A thin variant has also been designed to fit Kailh switches, and is perfect for NovelKeys’ branded switches: Creams, Nolives, and the Dry/Silk series!

  • Introducing TX Stabilizers! Implementing a patented technology, kin25 of TX Keyboards has improved the design of Cherry clip-ins to minimize rattling and prevent wire pop-out (using stab stoppers included with the set). The patented design features a double shot stabilizer stem with a POM outside and TPU & POM mixture inside. This mixture helps to minimize wire rattle and bottom out noise. Revision 3 brings the new white colour as well as a 1.2mm variant to support the more uncommon PCB thickness.

    TX Stabilizers are available in WK (1x 6.25u + 4x 2u stabilizers) or WKL (1x 7u + 4x 2u stabilizers) kits in the 1.6mm variant.

  • Many people like to have as much of their build prepared in advance so that when their keyboard arrives all they have to do is tune their stabilisers, solder in their switches and assemble.

    The Stabiliser Testing Station was designed so that you can lube and tune your stabilisers in preparation when your keyboard arrives. This is achieved by mimicking as close to the properties of an actual PCB as possible.

    We have also included a handy unit sizing guide for quick verification of keycap sizes. This legend was scaled for standard Cherry keycaps, other profiles may vary slightly.

    Designed in collaboration with Jels__

  • Ever wondered what sort of brushes you’ll need when you are ready to start customising your switches?

    The SK Lubricant Brush Kit is your answer. Each kit comes with 4 specialty-sized brushes that make lubing your switches a breeze. Because everyone is different, we’ve selected varying brushes depending on your preference and style.

    What’s more, the pack also includes a specialised metallic stem holder to hold the stems while you lube them – ensuring no sticky fingers! (It can also double as a handy mechanical pencil when not in use – Please remove lead before using as a stem holder)

    On the flip side, it has three handy holders to carry your 205, 3203 and even one designed for vials of 105. These hold tight and are very portable.

    Each kit includes:

    • Flat 0: The perfect all-in-one. Flat bristles tapered ends. This brush was cloned from an actual lube God and is regarded as the gold standard utility brush.
    • Filbert 4: If you are looking for a bit more consistency and ease of use than a flat tip, this is for you.
    • Round 1: This is the precision tip. Great for working around tactile legs or pole housings.
    • Script Liner 1: An XL version of the Round to give a bit more depth inside the switch housing.
    • SK Stem holder: 4 prongs emerge to secure your stems while you lube them. Button operated.
  • Designed by VLKBD, Switch Tripods are a small rubber tripod installed on the bottom of the switch to help deepen the sound of the switch without eliminating the unique acoustic each switch brings. These are a fast, easy solution compared to foam sheets or other alternatives and don’t make the switch feel mushy to type on!

    They are super easy to install: peel the tripod from the blue backing, remove the centerpiece, and place on the bottom of the switch around the center stem. It’s recommended to use fine-point tweezers for ease of application, but can be done by hand.
