2. About Your Keyboard

2.1 Compatible keycaps

The keyboard comes with DSA keycaps, but is also compatible with SA and XDA keycaps. All keycaps must be 1u in size to fit this keyboard, with the exception of the thumb cluster, which can fit up to 1.5u depending on the number of keys on the thumb cluster. A 6-keyed thumb cluster will be able to fit two 1.5u keys on each side of the keyboard. A 3-keyed thumb cluster will be able to fit three 1.5u keys on each side. The 5-keyed thumb cluster does not fit any 1.5u keys.

2.2 Non-hotswappable keyboards

Not recommended to open the back plate unless there are issues.

2.3 Compatible keyswitches for hotswappable keyboards

The hotswappable keyboard come with Kailh hotswap sockets, which are compatible with five legged MX Cherry switches. They are compatible with Kailh and Gateron switches, but MX Cherry switches are easier to hotswap because the plastic legs are slightly longer.

The keyboard is not compatible with low profile switches.

Figure 2.1. 5-leg keyswitches are preferred. MX Cherry switches are easier to hotswap because the plastic legs (identified by the ① in the rightmost keyswitch above) are slightly longer.
