Ready to use Athena 1800 with PBTfans X-Ray
$221.00
SKU:
ZH20886
Top Mount
For a classic, firm, and direct typing feel with consistent feedback. Favored by those who appreciate a traditional, responsive typing experience and sound.
PCB Silicone Gasket
Delivering a softer, more cushioned, and acoustically refined typing sensation. This mount isolates the PCB, providing a gentler bottom-out and a more muted, thocky sound profile.
Internal Cover plate and rectangular Weight bar
Cover plate material options: Stainless Steel / Brass / Carbon Fiber
Internal Design: Each version comes standard with a stainless steel internal weight bar.
This design not only provides a substantial, premium typing feel but also offers a diverse range of unique acoustic profiles.
The stainless steel version, in particular, features exquisite "toolpath" engravings—a finely machined texture on its interior.
This hidden detail is a testament to a meticulous commitment to quality and a unified aesthetic throughout the entire build.
