(In Stock) Vertex Intro S100 (100%/ Full-size) Keyboard Kit

In Stock Kits

Intro

The S100 uses a classic upper and lower case design, while we have adopted a colour matching design for most of the colours to try more interesting colour combinations.

The S100 can achieve an additional 4 extended function keys with RGB through the front badge, and yes, it can achieve 108 key layout to some extent.

The initial prototype of S100 was designed with exposed screws at the bottom to lock the case.

"Bro, it's all good, but please hide the screws, and it will be even better."

So we used the Baionbolt for hiding the screws, which way that can use the larger M2.5 screws to achieve a tighter locking of the upper and lower cases with the help of the internal oblique space.

However, we still retained the screws in the bottom four corners, because this can still set the screws in the most corner of the keyboard to evenly lock the upper and lower cases. And no matter what kind of internal locking screw scheme can not set the screw point in the most corner of the keyboard, so we have to increase the screw point in the vertical direction of the left and right borders of the keyboard, but because of the narrow border design of the S100, The screws in these two places are not compatible with Baionbolt due to lack of space, and the screws can still be hidden by the feet.

Under the concise appearance, we added ambient lighting to the back and front of the S100 to add some vibe when using the keyboard at the desk.

We realised that many keyboard users are obsessed with the intense RGB effect, but we also worry that it will take away the user's focus on the keyboard and create unnecessary distractions, so on the invisible back side we added a light throughout the keyboard, and on the front side of the keyboard, we use a light centered in the numpad area of the keyboard to decorate and add a relatively independent numlock switch indicator to the 10% area.

In terms of structure, this time on the S100 we used the PCB mount used on the ARC60 for the second time. With the experience of this configuration on the ARC, we also confidently moved it to this work again. Even at such a large size, it still has a good feel and sound performance.

In order to allow you to assemble and match more possibilities through the S100, this time we provide 5 kinds of plate materials (ALU /FR4/PP/PC/CF).

We believe that everyone has understood the internal structure, the weight of the bottom case and the actual impact of the material on the keyboard typing sound performance, and this time we increased the weight of two stainless steel inner weight to make up for a certain amount of weight, and tried to use the internal cover of PC material as the medium for the reflection of the sound inside the bottom case to change the performance of the typing sound. This method can be said to be effective and efficient in practice.
