Stainless Milled Weight and Brass Patina Weight
Please note that each case color is paired with a fixed weight finish: either SS milled or brass patina.
A compact format intended for builds that prioritize desk space and a reduced key layout.

60% Kit Overview
A Compact 60% Platform With Extensive Material Choices
The Sensy Lab Supernova is a 60% keyboard kit built around a compact 296.3 × 119 × 36.5 mm footprint. The current listing combines nine colorways with aluminum or PC top-case options, giving buyers multiple ways to shape the visual and material direction of the build without changing the core 60% format.
The kit also uses a separate PEI mid-frame and offers several weight, badge and plate materials. Because these options can affect appearance, mass and the character of the finished build, the most useful buying approach is to choose the case and finish first, then confirm the PCB, plate and switch requirements before checkout.
Typing Geometry
What the Chassis Dimensions Mean for the Desk
The Supernova keeps the footprint compact while using a 9° typing angle. The front-height specification is listed separately as FH 17.5 mm and EKH 22.5 mm, excluding the exposed feet, so buyers comparing wrist position or desk ergonomics should use the same measurement convention when comparing it with another keyboard.
Use these listed dimensions when checking desk fit, carrying space and compatibility with storage accessories.
The fixed chassis angle is an important ergonomic preference to compare against flatter or lower-angle boards.
The product page lists approximately 1.47–1.54 kg with the PC top and 1.58–1.65 kg with the aluminum top.
Materials & Build Direction
Case, Weight, Badge and Plate Options Create Distinct Build Paths
The current specification lists anodized aluminum, electrostatic-coated aluminum or frosted natural PC for the case, while the internal and accent parts introduce stainless steel, brass, titanium alloy, carbon quartz, glow resin, Micarta and several plate materials.
- Case choices: anodized aluminum, electrostatic-coated aluminum or frosted natural PC.
- Weight choices: PVD stainless steel, heat-colored stainless steel or heat-colored brass.
- Mid-frame: natural machined PEI.
- Badge choices: titanium alloy, carbon quartz, glow resin or Westinghouse Micarta.
- Plate choices: aluminum, PC, ABS, PEI or PEEK, depending on the selected configuration.
Finish note: the product page states that each case color is paired with a fixed weight finish. Confirm the live colorway/weight pairing shown on the product page before ordering rather than assuming every weight finish is available with every case color.
PCB & Switch Compatibility
Choose Between MX Soldered and Hot-Swap PCB Options
The Supernova listing specifies single-mode, Vial-compatible MX PCBs, with soldered and hot-swap versions supporting the same layouts. This makes the PCB choice primarily about how you want to install and change switches rather than about gaining a different layout.
Magnetic switches are explicitly listed as incompatible. Buyers planning a Hall Effect build should therefore choose a different keyboard platform rather than treating the Supernova's PCB options as HE-compatible.
Hot-Swap May Suit
- Builders who expect to change compatible MX-style switches more frequently.
- Users who prefer installation without soldering the switches to the PCB.
- Enthusiasts testing different switch combinations on the same layout.
Soldered May Suit
- Builders intentionally choosing a soldered PCB for a more permanent configuration.
- Users comfortable assembling and servicing a soldered keyboard PCB.
- Builds where the switch choice is already settled before assembly.
What Comes With the Kit
Core Chassis Parts, Dampers and Assembly Tools Are Included
The current box list covers the main case assembly, weight, PEI mid-frame, badge, PCB set, daughterboard/FPC set, feet and carrying case, plus three sets of dampers with different listed hardnesses. T6 and T8 Torx screwdrivers are also included.
- Top and bottom case with weight, plus one PEI mid-frame and one badge.
- PCB set and daughterboard FPC set.
- Five 70A silicone dampers, five 90A silicone dampers and five 98A TPU printed dampers.
- Feet, carrying case, accessories, outer carton, and T6/T8 Torx screwdrivers.
Build-planning note: use the live product configuration and box list to confirm exactly what is included with the selected variant. Do not assume switches, stabilizers or keycaps are included unless they are explicitly listed in the current product package.
Before You Order
Key Buying Checks for a Supernova Build
Confirm Before Checkout
- Selected colorway and whether the top case is aluminum or PC.
- The fixed weight finish paired with that case color.
- Hot-swap or soldered PCB preference.
- Plate material and other variant-specific parts shown in the live configuration.
Important Limitations
- Magnetic switches are not compatible with the listed PCB options.
- This listing is a group-buy / pre-order product rather than normal in-stock inventory.
- Production and fulfillment timing can change; use the live timeline above as the current source of truth.
- Group-buy and pre-order purchase terms should be reviewed before payment.

Sensy Lab Supernova 60% Keyboard Kit FAQ
What size is the Sensy Lab Supernova?
The Supernova is a 60% keyboard kit. The current product specification lists an overall size of 296.3 × 119 × 36.5 mm and a 9° typing angle.
Can I choose an aluminum or PC top case?
Yes. The current listing provides aluminum and PC top-case options. The listed approximate weight is 1.58–1.65 kg with the aluminum top and 1.47–1.54 kg with the PC top.
Does the Supernova support hot-swap switches?
The listing offers MX soldered and hot-swap PCB options, and states that both support the same layouts. Select the PCB type that matches how you plan to install and change switches.
Can I use magnetic Hall Effect switches in the Supernova?
No. The current product page explicitly states that magnetic switches are not compatible.
Does the PCB support Vial?
Yes. The product page describes the PCB as single-mode and Vial-compatible.
What plate materials are listed?
The current specification lists anodized aluminum, natural machined PC, black machined ABS, natural machined PEI and natural machined PEEK as plate material options.
Are switches and keycaps included?
The current “In the box” list does not list switches or keycaps. Build the purchase plan from the exact included-components list shown on the live product page and source any unlisted build parts separately.
Is this an in-stock keyboard?
No. The product page identifies the purchase as a short pre-order / group-buy item. Production and fulfillment timing can change, so review the live timeline and purchase terms displayed above before ordering.
