Barebone is a keyboard without any switches or keycaps. Mechanical barebone keyboards allow users to build their own unique mechanical keyboard with less effort and learning technology. These keyboards are sold as is, giving you the freedom to choose your own switches and keycaps to suit you and your style.

Bottom plate: The lower part of the keyboard that provides stability and protects the components inside. Available in a variety of materials and designs to match your style.
Switches: The heart of the mechanical keyboard, which emits the sound and tone when you type. You can choose between different types of switches depending on your preferences.
