This edition is offered in two case colorways: \u003cstrong\u003eBlack\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eOlive\u003c\/strong\u003e. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKeycaps and switches shown in product photos are for illustration only and are not included.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Dampers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreviously 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the 4 mm Plate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePCB Support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle-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.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch-support options available for this kit:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot-swap Cherry MX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(Solder) Cherry MX + Alps SKCM\/SKCL + SMK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(Solder) Alps SKCP + Omron B3G + NMB Hi-Tek 725\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTopre EC electrostatic capacitive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Sensy","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":53915259339070,"sku":"DSE001","price":493.56,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Olive","offer_id":53915259371838,"sku":"DSE002","price":493.56,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/2899\/4622\/files\/FlqtelEtKSaOYNHZNy-NxkKE8Vq9_5b59e0d5-c665-4b11-8604-ea97d1b53cd2.webp?v=1784149552","url":"https:\/\/unikeyboards.com\/en-ie\/products\/sensy-seal80-keyboard-kit-dcs-dolch-special-edition-group-buy","provider":"UniKeys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
