Quality Expectations:                  

While we strive to provide a perfect experience no kit can be 100% flawless at our scale of production, as such the caveats are as follows:                        

• No scratches on exposed / user facing parts of the keyboard (after installation of plate & PCB).
• Possible machining marks / micro scratches on the inside of the kit / pieces not exposed to the user. This includes scratches arising from anodisation hooks.     
• Screw holes are NOT anodised.                      
• Possible marks close to screw area.                       
• Raw top and bottom pieces may have scratches present and are susceptible to scratches.
• Raw parts may also tarnish over time if left uncoated.                      
  
• Anodisation and e-coating variation may be present between top and bottom pieces.                       
• Copper patina: Copper as a material tarnishes over time, you can clean it but note that it's a form of oxidation that we cannot control.                       
• Marks / streaks that are not visible after assembly.                      
• Please note that your purchase denotes agreement to Pre-Order rules which include all the above.
