Construction and features

This board features medium thickness plastic top and bottom covers, a steel mounting plate, and standard quality 180 degree DIN connector. 7 screws hold the top and bottom case together, with two screws fastening the switch assembly to the bottom case. No clips are used. These components combine into a solid built keyboard with minimal case flex. The keycaps are thick with dye sublimated legends. Two flip-out feet provide for additional elevation. 4 black rubber pads prevent the keyboard from sliding on polished surfaces.
