At your suggestion, we are trying a small run of raw kits for those of you who are looking to send parts to custom finishers, or like the look of raw aluminum.

This second run will be of 25 kits.

A DIY kit for hardcore DIY'ers. Raw aluminum kit ready to be used as-is or custom-finished at a later time.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

• This kit is machined for cerakote or anodizing tolerances. Thicker coatings will be hard to assemble or not fit.
  
• This is raw aluminum. While it will hold up well to normal use, it is softer and more prone to scratches than finished aluminum.
• These kits will not come with a serial number, and "Raw" will be indicated on both the box tag and the QC card
  
• Lead time is ~3 weeks.
  
• FAQ for raw kits

• Tenkeyless form-factor, only WKL available
  
• 8.5° typing angle
• 6061 aluminum
  
• Top piece tumbled for a stone washed look
• Middle piece will be hand scotchbrite brushed
• Bottom piece will be an unfinished waves pattern
  
• Plate will be raw aluminum.
• Isolated gasket sandwich mount
• Leaf-spring plate for added flex
• Custom-molded silicone feet
• PTFE Alignment pins
• VIA-compatible PCB and USB-C daughterboard designed by Wilba
• Kit includes chassis, plate, PCB, vibration-damping gaskets, bumpon feet, case screws, and drivers

As the expectation is that people will refinish these kits, gaskets and feet will come included but not installed.
