The special weight feature we shall talk about now – the expensive titanium Damascus weight piece and also the Damascus used in the light feature – Damascus is a composite material created from multiple pieces/layers of a metal, titanium in this case, welded together and forged, before being etched in an acid to reveal the pattern of the layers that can be seen on the material. The Damascus is used in the arch in the light feature, as well as the circular weight piece at the bottom of the board – as seen in the picture, with the name of the board “Sunset” engraved into the piece. Due to the nature of Damascus, every piece will look different, giving each unit its own uniqueness.

The keyboard utilizes a PCB Gasket sandwich, with a 1.6mm PCB and separate mother and daughterboard. The mounting tabs are on the PCB, meaning this can be both built with and without a plate. The mounting tabs incorporates a leaf-spring design to allow for a softer and more flexible typing experience. The gaskets used are LE20 Poron foam, and to provide further mitigation of unwanted movement, there are POM alignment pins in the corners to stabilize the build.
