Mounting Systems
Top-mount
Pure top-mount
By design, Top-mount involves metal-to-metal contact. With this option, your sound will naturally carry a slight metallic character (not hollow or echoing), a signature trait of this mounting style.
Typing feel: Firm with a slight vibration
Note: Use the metal washers
Isolated top-mount
With Paper washers: Similar type-feel to pure Top-mount, but it reduces the intensity of metal-to-metal contact noise
Typing feel: Firm with slight vibration
With PORON gaskets: Completely separates the plate from the case, minimizing metal-to-metal contact even further than paper.
Typing feel: Solfter and smoother
Top-mount screws and a set each of all three washers are included with each keyboard kit. Additional PORON gaskets can be purchased from the add-ons page.
Gasket Mount with PCBSNap
With a Plate
You can use the default Aluminum Top-mount plate with PCBSnap, but PCBSnap specific plates (sold separately) have less chances of interfering with the case and they do sound slightly better.
Plate-less, PCB-mount
Plate-less mounts are possible with PCBsnap and the Solder PCBs. You can use a standard layout with the Venom HE PCB if you PCB-mount it.
A set of x8 60a FKM PCBSNAP are included with each keyboard kit. Additional PCBsnap in Silicone 60a and Silicone 70a can be purchased separately from the add-ons page.
PCBs
All PCBs are QMK / VIA compatible.
All PCBs (except Venom HE) support underglow RGB
3 standard PCBs
You can choose of the 3 standard blackcore PCBs offered in this GB with a keyboard kit. Unlike most multi-layout PCBs out there, there are separate hot-swap PCBs for ANSI and ISO layouts because having north-facing switches can negatively affect the sound.
Venom HE PCB
Geon's Venom HE TKL F12 PCB can be purchased separately as an add-on for those who'd like to use Magnetic Hall Effect (HE) switches. It's a solder PCB that supports a limited number of layouts, more details in the spec section
Venom HE PCB comes with it's own daughterboard and JST connector.
Sur connector
The daughterbroard features a standard JST connector while the PCB features a slimmer, SUR connector to minimize the distance between the PCB and bottom case. You can use any unified design daughterboard as long as you use a JST to SUR cable.
Venom 87 HE PCB 1.6mm non-flexcut. Solder PCB. Supports Magnetic Hall Effect switches. Supports QMK/VIA. No RGB underglow. Comes with it's own daughterboard & JST connector. Only sold separately
Plate
Default plate Aluminum Top-mount
Additional plate materials Carbon Fiber, FR4, POM, ABS, PEI & PC are available in either Top-mount or PCBsnap variants.
Note: A Top-mount plate can be used with PCBsnaps but it does not offer optimal acoustics due to the possibility of slight contact between top mount tabs and the case

Changes from the prototype
Most of the prototypes shown in photos and videos / streams feature Baion's screws for the case assembly. These screws go in from the inside at an angle, leading to a clean exterior look with no visible screws.
However, the production units that customers will receive will feature external straight screws like Krush65. While some may prefer clean look of Baion's screws, these straight screws are much easier and quicker to build with for the users.
Logo or No logo
You can chose to have the +84 logo above the right arrow key on the top case or go completely blank for a clean, minimalist look. There will be a logo on the back case on each keyboard that's not visible when the keyboard is upright.
