What makes the Sensy Supernova's mounting system unique?

The Sensy Supernova features a distinctive SonoShell mounting system that combines a dampened top mount with a PEI middle frame layer sandwiched between the top and bottom cases. This design enhances acoustic performance by providing a unique PEI bottom sound profile while maintaining the rigidity and premium feel of an aluminum case.

Can I customize the plate material on this 60% keyboard?

Yes, the Sensy Supernova offers several plate options including 1.5mm aluminum, and 4mm plates made from PC, ABS, PEI, and PEEK materials. Each plate supports ANSI and ISO layouts, although 4mm plates require a 7U spacebar to ensure balanced sound and feel.

What PCB options are available for this keyboard?

You can choose between a solder-based MX PCB or a hot-swap MX PCB compatible with VIAL software. Additionally, there is a Topre electro-capacitive plate option, allowing users to select the typing experience that best suits their preferences.

How does the Sensy Supernova handle typing angle and ergonomics?

The keyboard is designed with a 9° typing angle and offers two front height options: 17.5mm for the standard version and 22.5mm for the EKH variant. This thoughtful design promotes comfortable hand positioning and reduces strain during extended typing sessions.

What materials are used in the construction of the Sensy Supernova's case and weight?

The top case is crafted from anodized aluminum, providing durability and a premium finish. The bottom case is made from raw bead-blasted polycarbonate, adding a subtle contrast and acoustic benefits. The included weight comes in heat-colored brass or PVD stainless steel, both specifically matched to the keyboard's colorway for aesthetic harmony.

Does the keyboard come with any accessories to enhance sound dampening?

Yes, the Sensy Supernova includes a variety of silicone and TPU dampeners with different hardness ratings (70A, 90A silicone, and 98A TPU) to allow users to fine-tune the sound and feel of their typing experience according to personal preference.

What layouts are supported by this keyboard?

This keyboard supports several popular 60% layouts including WK, WKL, and HHKB, giving users flexibility in key arrangement to suit their typing style and needs.

How heavy and portable is the Sensy Supernova?

Weighing approximately 1.5 kilograms, the keyboard balances solid build quality with portability. It comes with a carry case and accessories, making it convenient for enthusiasts who want a premium mechanical keyboard on the go.

Are the top case, bottom case, and weight colors coordinated?

Absolutely. The Sensy Supernova’s top case, bottom case, and weight are carefully pre-matched in color to create a visually cohesive and striking appearance that complements the overall design.

What typing feel can I expect from the PEI mid-frame layer?

The natural machined PEI mid-frame acts as a buffer layer that not only enhances sound dampening but also contributes to a softer, more muted typing experience without sacrificing the keyboard’s structural integrity.

Product Description

The Sensy Supernova is a 60% mechanical keyboard designed for users who want a compact layout with a focus on sound and typing feel. It suits hobbyists and typists interested in a unique mounting system that enhances acoustics while maintaining a solid aluminum case. The keyboard supports both soldered and hot-swap MX switches, offering flexibility for switch customization.

Key Features

Uses the SonoShell mounting system combining a dampened top mount with a PEI middle frame, which improves sound dampening and typing acoustics.
Multiple plate options including aluminum, PC, ABS, PEI, and PEEK allow users to tailor typing feel and sound profile.
Supports 60% layouts including WK, WKL, and HHKB styles, accommodating various compact keyboard preferences.
PCB supports both soldered and hot-swap MX switches, compatible with VIAL firmware for advanced key remapping.

Build Quality

Top and bottom cases are anodized aluminum, providing durability and weight.
Middle frame is made from machined PEI, a plastic known for its acoustic buffering properties.
Includes a brass or stainless steel weight matched to case colors, adding stability and sound impact.
Mounting system uses silicone and TPU dampeners to reduce vibration and noise.

Typing Experience

The dampened top mount combined with the PEI mid-frame creates a unique acoustic profile with reduced harshness.
Plate material choice influences typing feel and sound; thicker 4mm plates support only 7U spacebars to maintain sound balance.
Typing angle is 9°, with a low front bezel height, supporting a comfortable wrist position.

Compatibility

Supports ANSI and ISO layouts across multiple plate options.
Firmware supports VIAL, enabling customizable key mapping and macros.
Wired connection only; no wireless support.

Trade-offs

4mm thick plates restrict spacebar size to 7U, which may affect keycap compatibility or user preference.
Complex mounting system and multiple components may increase assembly or maintenance complexity.
