KBDFans GT 80 MX Version

It is a customizable mechanical-keyboard barebone kit built around an aluminum case and a hot-swap PCB. It includes components such as stabilizers, a silicone pad, diffusers, and a brass weight bar, so you can configure the keyboard with your preferred compatible switches and keycaps.

Yes. Switches and keycaps are not listed among the included components, so plan to provide your own. The hot-swap PCB lets you install compatible switches without soldering.

The ball-catch construction is designed to make opening the case more convenient when you want to access or adjust its internal components. It supports easier customization without relying solely on a conventional case-opening approach.

Choose switches that are compatible with the MX-style hot-swap sockets on the PCB. Check the switch’s pin and socket compatibility before installation, and avoid forcing a switch into place.

The through-style brass weight bar adds mass to the case, which can make the board feel more planted on a desk. Its density may also help moderate resonance and echo, contributing to a fuller, more controlled sound; the final result will still depend on your switches, keycaps, plate, and build.

Yes. The available choices include a top case with or without a metal badge, plus brass-module options with or without a strap buckle. These details let you choose a cleaner look or a more decorative accent.

The silicone bumpers cushion contact within the case and can help reduce vibration. The kit also includes a silicone pad and dual silicone diffusers, which form part of the keyboard’s internal build and can influence how it feels and sounds.

The listed contents specify an optional plate, so check the configuration you are considering to confirm whether one is included. A plate affects switch support and can influence typing feel and sound.

The listed components include the aluminum top and bottom case, hot-swap PCB, stabilizer set, brass weight bar, silicone pad, dual silicone diffusers, silicone bumpers, rubber feet, screws, a JST cable, and a screwdriver with T6 and T8 bits. The kit also lists brass accent pieces and an optional plate; the front brass badge is noted as available only for layout B.

The product information recommends the Tofix configurator and identifies a VIA firmware file named “GT80 MX version.uf2” along with a VIA JSON file named “GT80_mx.json.” Follow the relevant tool’s instructions and confirm that the firmware and layout match your PCB before making changes.

The product information describes brass-module choices with and without a strap buckle. Because the exact fit can depend on the selected layout and configuration, check that the buckle option matches your build before assembling it.
