It is recommended as an affordable custom keyboard for beginners, and the advantages and disadvantages of each mounting method are explained in detail.
Magnetic PCB plate mounting method when separating the middle plate, battery can be installed when purchasing a wireless PCB

| Top Mount | Solid and stable | Prefer sharp sounds |
| Poron Gasket | Soft and bouncy | Prefer comfortable typing feel |
| Silicone Gasket | Intermediate feel | Choose according to personal preference |
