Gray Studio Space80 Apollo’s Cyber Armor

It is a customizable mechanical keyboard kit that revisits the Space80 Apollo’s distinctive design. The aluminum case is paired with a decorative rear bar, front badge, and stainless-steel bottom weight; finishes and plate materials vary by configuration.

Switches and keycaps are not listed among the included components, so plan to provide your own. The kit does include a hot-swappable PCB and a plate, along with case and sound-dampening components.

The Space80: Apollo’s Cyber Armor is offered in WK (with a standard Windows key area) and WKL (with a winkeyless bottom row) versions. Check the selected configuration carefully, since the available finish and plate combinations differ by layout.

Plate options include aluminum, carbon fiber, FR4, and polycarbonate, depending on the configuration. Each material can give the typing experience a different character: aluminum tends to feel firm, while materials such as FR4, carbon fiber, and polycarbonate offer alternative levels of stiffness and sound.

The board uses a spring-gasket mounting system with wave springs and silicone sleeves. This design supports a cushioned, controlled typing feel, while the supplied foam and silicone bottom pad help manage internal vibration and sound.

The included 1.2 mm PCB is hot-swappable, has no flex cuts, and includes ESD protection. It connects through a magnetic daughterboard and supports both QMK and VIAL for keyboard configuration.

Yes. The PCB supports badge lighting and underglow LEDs. The kit also includes a small number of backup SMD LEDs, but the lighting is distinct from per-key backlighting.

The case is approximately 368.6 mm wide. Its front height is 19.85 mm, with an effective keyboard height of 25.20 mm, and the typing angle is 7 degrees.

The case is custom-CNC-machined from 6063 aluminum and is offered with anodized or powder-coated surface finishes. The bottom weight, rear decorative bar, and front badge are made from PVD stainless steel.

The kit includes the case, one plate, a hot-swap PCB, gaskets, case feet, screws, a Poron vibration-reduction plate foam, ixPE PCB foam, and a silicone bottom pad. A screwdriver, tweezers, spare screws and rubber feet, and backup SMD LEDs are also listed.

It is a keyboard kit rather than a fully assembled, ready-to-use keyboard. You will need to assemble it and supply compatible switches and keycaps; after assembly, the hot-swap PCB lets you install or change switches without soldering.
