KBDFans Chamber

The Chamber is a barebone tenkeyless (TKL) mechanical keyboard kit. It provides the case, PCB, and plate, so you can choose your own switches and keycaps to complete the build.

You’ll need about 87–88 switches and a compatible TKL keycap set. Stabilizers are also needed for longer keys such as the spacebar, Shift, and Enter; they can be chosen separately. The PCB determines whether switches are installed by soldering or simply plugged in.

Yes. You can choose a wired hot-swap PCB, which lets you install and change compatible switches without soldering. There are separate ANSI and ISO hot-swap options. A solder PCB is also available for builds where switches are soldered into place.

The Chamber has a classic TKL layout and is offered in WK or WKL case configurations. WK includes the usual Windows-key position, while WKL omits the Windows-key column. PCB options vary: hot-swap versions are ANSI or ISO, while the solder PCB supports a wider range of ANSI and ISO layouts.

No. The Chamber’s PCBs are wired and use FR4. They run Vial firmware and are VIA-compatible, allowing you to configure supported keyboard functions through compatible software.

The plate is secured to the top case, giving the keyboard a firm, direct typing feel. PTFE pads sit between the case sections to prevent direct metal-to-metal contact and help limit vibration transfer and unwanted case resonance.

The design gives the sound room to develop rather than relying on foam to heavily mute it. The case volume, internal geometry, plate, switches, and inner weight all contribute, so the final sound will depend on the parts you choose.

Each plate gives the build a different character. Aluminum feels stiff and direct, polycarbonate is more flexible with a softer feel and deeper sound, FR4 sits between those two, and carbon fiber offers a stiff, lightweight plate with a crisp response.

Foam is optional. The kit is designed to work without much foam, but a foam kit is available if you want to adjust the sound further. Choose the foam version that matches your PCB: solder or hot-swap.

The inner weight is available in aluminum, stainless steel, or copper. The listed weights are approximately 415 g, 1,246 g, and 1,393 g respectively. The weight extends to the underside of the case, where part of it is visible.

The case measures approximately 358.95 × 139.53 mm, with a height of 19.22 mm at the front and 35.80 mm at the back. Its typing angle is 7 degrees.

Switches and keycaps are not included, and stabilizers are a separate choice. You’ll need to supply compatible switches and keycaps, and add stabilizers for the larger keys to finish the keyboard.
