It delivers a crisp sound and refreshing typing feel with every keystroke. The material’s natural semi-transparent amber color adds a unique, premium character to each build. Rather than using sandblasting, we apply a clear coating to create a smoother, more radiant finish that truly stands out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0252\/3958\/4834\/files\/7_f5bde1c9-878d-47e1-b1e3-bc872647317b.jpg?v=1758552544\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote: Because of its properties, PEI plate may not be perfectly flat after processing.

Through countless rounds of prototyping, we’ve finally selected a balanced flex-cut design that minimizes feedback differences between zones while preserving the distinctive typing feel character of the aluminium plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother innovation is the spring-like structure within the spacebar area. The aggressive grooving on the sides of the spacebar significantly eliminates the harsh typing feel but might raise concerns about durability. We’ve addressed this by adding two spring-like connections within the spacebar that enhance strength without increasing rigidity. Combined with the aggressive flex cut, this design achieves a perfect balance of strength and flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make switch installation easier, we’ve added chamfers to every switch hole, with glossy chamfers around the entire plate. In keeping with the celestial theme, we’ve also incorporated a planet decoration above the arrow keys area. This plate not only securely holds all switches but also elevates your build from the inside out, creating an exquisite aesthetic from internal components to external appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0252\/3958\/4834\/files\/38.png?v=1758552847\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the new PEI plate, flex-cut ALU plate with glossy chamfer, we also offer regular ALU plate, Carbon Fiber and PP plates for your selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic Package\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the Neo80 Cu delivers satisfying typing sound without any foam, every unit includes a complete acoustic package with Poron PCB foam, a PE sheet, and case foam.
