Product Description

The KBDFans Constance is a tenkeyless (TKL) mechanical keyboard kit designed for users who want a minimalist daily driver with a focus on typing feel and sound. It suits enthusiasts who prefer a clean, detailed design and are comfortable assembling their keyboard, as the PCB and plate are sold separately. Its split plate top-mount design offers a stable and consistent typing experience with a higher-pitched sound profile.

Design and Build Quality

  • The case is made from aluminum 6063 with options for brass, stainless steel, or copper weights, adding substantial heft and stability.
  • It features a 9-degree typing angle and an effective key height (EKH) of 23.8 mm, supporting comfortable hand positioning.
  • The top case has soft edges and a subtle curved side profile, reducing visual harshness and enhancing desk presence.
  • Split plate mounting separates the 60% cluster and function row from the navigator cluster, increasing plate flex and sound resonance.

Typing Experience

  • Split plate design results in a louder, higher-pitched typing sound, which may appeal to users who value acoustic feedback.
  • Symmetrical mounting points provide a stable and consistent feel across the keyboard.
  • Multiple plate material options (aluminum, carbon fiber, polycarbonate, polypropylene) allow users to customize typing flex and sound.

Customization and Compatibility

  • The kit does not include the PCB or plate, requiring separate purchase and assembly, which suits hobbyists comfortable with customization.
  • Layout supports F13 TKL (88%) with split plates, offering a compact yet functional key arrangement.

Trade-offs

  • Absence of included PCB and plate adds complexity and cost for users seeking a ready-to-use keyboard.
  • The louder, higher-pitched sound profile may not suit quiet office environments or users preferring muted acoustics.
  • Internal stainless steel weight may exhibit slight bending due to manufacturing stress, which does not affect function but may concern some users.
