Case Design:

Schema uses some of the familiar design choices from the Manta while also leaning into a more industrial and straightforward design that differentiates the Schema. The bottom pillars have been squared off and a cherry lip added to achieve a more angular design. Engraved lines on the back of the top case and external screws add visual interest as you look at different areas of the keyboard.

Mounting Design:

Schema uses the poron gasket mount as something that is tried and true letting you use different plates and switches to find a combination that you like

QC Specifications & Disclaimers:

Aged/ Patina Finishes:  Please note that this product is made from patina’d aluminuim or brass respectively. Due to the nature of the patina process, each piece will vary in colour, tone, texture, and finish. These variations are a natural and intentional characteristic of the material and should be expected. No two pieces are exactly alike.

By purchasing this product, you acknowledge and accept these natural variations. Because each item is unique and made with an intentionally variable finish refunds, returns, or exchanges will not be offered based on surface finish pattern, texture, color, tone, or finish consistency. Normal QC guidelines otherwise still apply and will be treated like any other colourway.

Machinist Aluminum and Copper Pieces:  Please note that the "Machinist" aluminium colourway will have machine marks and scratches present as they are not processed after CNC aside from clear anodizing on the case. By purchasing the "Machinist" colourway you acknowledge that QC for these parts is not possible and it is not eligible for returns or exchanges based on machine mark patterns or processing marks. Copper “Machinist” pieces use intentional machine lines in the copper that have a clear coat applied from the factory however due to the semi-raw nature of the material it lasts between 2-6 months depending on the amount of handling and conditions of your environment. Overtime without care this will develop a patina. Protective coatings can be maintained and re-applied to prevent oxidation.
