A special-edition run of the SENSY Seal 80, themed around the classic DCS Dolch palette — deep charcoal, warm grey, and a signature teal accent. This edition is offered in two case colorways: Black and Olive. Everything that makes the Seal 80 great is carried over — the mid-frame–less Force Break structure, multi-durometer damping, and A87-standard PCB compatibility — now finished to pair with a Dolch-inspired build.
Keycaps and switches shown in product photos are for illustration only and are not included. This is a barebones keyboard kit.

About the Structure
In December, the Smoke 65% we shipped used a PEI damping frame that received much praise from users, so we continue to use PEI as the Force Break material in the Seal 80. However, as noted in the IC, the presence of a mid-frame increases overall keyboard thickness. For the Seal 80 we wanted to try a mid-frame–less Force Break solution: separate damping strips combined with a PVC bottom pad to provide a Force Break–like effect while lowering the front height.
About the Dampers
Previously on the Smoke we used 70a and 90a dampers, which still had issues with deformation when assembled improperly, posing a challenge for users. This time we added 98a TPU 3D-printed dampers with higher hardness and less deformation — easier to assemble and offering a different feel.
About the 4 mm Plate
On the Smoke 65%, the spacebar row had many cutouts to accommodate different layouts, resulting in worse fill compared with other rows. We are removing compatibility for the 6.25u spacebar and separating the ANSI and ISO plates to achieve as perfect a fill as possible. We also added an ABS plate option to provide a softer, springier feel and a different sound profile.
PCB Support
Single-mode, supports VIAL. We also changed the PCB to fully match the A87 standard. Users can install third-party PCBs such as Hiney80 or Lix LAB JKL80V2 for additional features or dual-/tri-mode functionality. (If you need to add a battery, you can remove the internal aluminum nameplate to make space for a battery; recommended maximum battery size: 93 × 18 × 3 mm.)
