FAQs
Does this board need special care?
Wood is a living material, unlike aluminum or plastic, so some special care must be taken into account. Do not leave your board in a place that gets very hot or cold, as it can cause warping. For example, do not leave this board right next to sources of heat for extended periods of time.

How fragile is this board compared to aluminum?
Wood is a fibrous material, with non uniform density throughout. As such, it is more fragile than aluminum, specifically in areas of small detail, such as the arrow key cluster. This should not be an issue for normal typing, gaming, or general computer usage. However, dropping this board from a large height, or slamming hands against it in anger may compromise the structural integrity of smaller features and cause breakage.
What are some of the features of this board?
The KL-90 offers a left side macro row and extensive layout support such as ISO, ANSI, split space, stepped caps lock.
How is the board mounted/ held together?
The board is separated into a top and bottom half, fastened with brass machine screws from underneath. The plate/PCB unit sits on rubber gaskets inside the top and bottom sandwich. This also combats wood warping, as the top and bottom are constantly held together over a solid substrate, unlike typical wooden tray mount boards.
