Product Description

The Tech Bear Studio TB65F is a 65% custom mechanical keyboard kit suited for hobbyists who want a versatile build platform with multiple mounting options and connectivity modes. It is designed for users who value easy modding, clean typing sound, and customizable controls. The keyboard supports both wired and wireless connections, making it adaptable for different setups.

Key Features

Quick snap assembly allows fast removal of the top housing for easy access to the PCB, simplifying modifications and maintenance.
Three customizable microswitch buttons replace two standard keys, offering additional programmable inputs via VIA software.
Four mounting systems provide a range of typing feels, from bouncy and flexible to firm and stable, catering to personal preference.

Build Quality

Gasket mounting options and classic bottom mount allow users to tailor typing feedback and keyboard flex.
The copper-plated PCB and isolated bottom housing cavity contribute to a clean, snappy typing sound without needing foam inserts.
The weight features a machined ripple finish, adding a textured surface that resists fingerprints and enhances grip.

Typing Experience

Multiple mounting styles let users adjust the board’s flex and cushioning, affecting key feel and acoustics.
Customizable microswitch buttons expand functionality without sacrificing standard key layout.
