Product Description

The HanShanXue Studio Dimension is a wired tenkeyless mechanical keyboard kit suited for users who prefer building their own setup with custom switches and keycaps. It targets hobbyists who want a solid, heavy keyboard with a distinctive anodized aluminum case and a gasket mount design for a softer typing feel. It does not include stabilizers, keycaps, or switches, so it fits users comfortable sourcing and installing these components themselves.

Key Features

  • Gasket mount design reduces typing harshness by isolating the plate from the case.
  • Aluminum plate included, providing a firm and stable typing surface.
  • Hot-swappable PCB option allows easy switch changes without soldering.
  • Multiple anodized color variants offer visual customization at the case level.
  • Comes with a hard aluminum carrying case, protecting the keyboard during transport.

Build Quality

  • Heavy construction with a 3.5kg unbuilt weight, contributing to stability and reduced movement during use.
  • Top and bottom covers anodized in various finishes, including blood red, matte silver, and black, with stainless steel counterweights adding balance.
  • PCB-mounted stabilizers required but not included, which may affect typing feel and noise depending on user choice.

Typing Experience

  • Gasket mount and aluminum plate combination offers a quieter, cushioned typing experience compared to tray-mounted boards.
  • No foam included, which may lead to a more open sound profile; users can add foam if desired for dampening.
  • Typing angle of 7 degrees supports ergonomic wrist positioning for extended use.

Compatibility and Layout

  • Supports 80% layout with 88 keys, including F13 and WK/WKL variants.
  • PCB supports both ANSI and ISO layouts with options for split Backspace and Shift keys.
  • Compatible with VIA software for key remapping, allowing customization without flashing firmware.

Trade-offs

  • Does not include stabilizers, switches, or keycaps, requiring additional purchases and assembly effort.
  • No wireless connectivity, limiting use to wired setups only.
  • Absence of foam may result in a less muted sound, which some users may find less desirable.
  • No per-key RGB lighting or flex cuts, limiting lighting customization and case flexibility.
