Includes a brass counterweight that adds stability and weight, reducing keyboard movement during use.
Comes with pre-installed stabilizers for larger keys, improving keypress consistency and reducing rattle.
Top shell aluminum and bottom acrylic construction balance rigidity and weight.

Weight of 1.36 kg and aluminum construction make it less portable for frequent travel.
