Add-ons and accessories:

Additional PCBs
Additional Plates
Aluminum Top Cases
WS Switches
WS Stabilizers

Aurora Snow

This colorway comes with an E-white Aluminum top case while all the other colorways come with a Polycarbonate top case. That's the reason it costs more than the others.

Battery for Bluetooth Editions

A standard sized, widely available LiPo battery is required for Bluetooth editions but it's not included with the kit. You can purchase the battery here or source it on your own.

Stabilizers

Stabilizers are not included with these kits, you need to purchase them separately. Aurora R2 kits have 1.2 mm PCB by default, WS Stabs 1.2mm fit them perfectly, no need for washers or shims. Since BODO and Iceland have more hotswap sockets for various kinds of splits, normal washers or shims won't sit properly. If you really want to use normal stabs, we suggest you to use threads or other things to lift up stabs like this. Alternately, you can purchase WS Stabs 1.2mm here, sold separately.

Sound & Flex Test:

Aurora R2 Highlights

Variable gasket mount structure. Remove some or all of the gasket chips to change from firm to bouncy. Both Silicone and Poron gaskets are included to fine tune the experience even further!
Default PCB (05 - Bodo) for wired version is a hot-swap PCB that supports multiple layouts! This is a very unique feature that lets you use any or all of split L Shift, split R Shift, split Backspace, stepped Caps Lock and ISO Enter, anytime you want. No soldering necessary! Default PCB (06 Iceland) for Wireless version is a Blue Tooth/VIA hotswap that supports splits like Bodo, except space bar. For all PCB specifications, please check PCB table here.
Default Silicone dampener kits and add-on poron dampener kit can provide different typing feel and sound, so you can test and choose the one you like most.
The badges are hot-swappable, meaning you can change them without taking apart the case! There will be a custom badge group buy after R2 GB ends. You can even get a one of a kind badge made with your custom design!
Personalize your Aurora even further with the use of Logo Chips! The little cutout above the right Arrow Key has LEDs underneath. Cut your own design onto a piece of thick paper and put over the hole to see the light shine through. You can even 3D print plastic chips, laser cut other materials as well. The Aurora will come with one Wuque Studio branded chip, and a blank chip to cover the cutout in case you do not want to use it.
