Product Description

The MMkeyboard Class80R2 is a wired mechanical keyboard kit designed for enthusiasts who prefer a customizable build with a solid, heavy case. It suits users who want to tailor their typing experience through different PCB and plate options, and who value a sturdy, aluminum chassis with multiple mounting styles. This keyboard is less ideal for those seeking wireless connectivity or a fully assembled product.

Key Features

Multiple PCB options including soldered, hot-swap, and EC kits allow flexibility in switch installation and customization.
Supports plateless mounting with gasket and top mount styles, which can influence typing feel and sound by reducing vibrations.
Includes a blank badge and an additional random badge matching the case color, offering simple aesthetic customization.

Build Quality

Constructed from 6063 aluminum, providing a durable and heavy case that weighs 3.3kg unbuilt, contributing to a stable typing platform.
Options for stainless steel or POM plates (for EC kit) allow users to adjust typing feedback and acoustics.
Includes a stainless steel PCB, which adds rigidity and durability to the internal structure.

Typing Experience

Gasket mounting reduces case vibrations, resulting in a softer, quieter typing feel compared to rigid mounts.
Plateless support allows for a more flexible typing surface, which some users find more comfortable and less fatiguing.
Choice of plate materials and mounting styles enables tuning of sound and keypress feedback.

Trade-offs

Wired only, so it lacks wireless options for users needing cable-free setups.
Requires assembly and soldering for some PCB variants, which may not suit beginners or those seeking a ready-to-use keyboard.
Weight and size make it less portable and more suited for a fixed desk setup.
