Built with a frosty acrylic case and\nfully programmable RGB LEDs, the Carina is designed to brighten up any space.\nSculpted in the 60% form factor, it’s space-efficient and portable. Unique to\nthe Carina’s design is the combination of a tray-mount construction and hot-\nswap capability. In lieu of an integrated plate, the keyboard features a tray\nmount, allowing you to easily switch to a new plate material (three of which\nare available) for a different switch feel. Even with this added layer of\ncustomization, we’ve retained the keyboard’s hot-swap capability, so you can\nplug in new switches on the fly—no soldering required. Perhaps best of all, it\ntakes just a Phillips-head screwdriver and a few easy steps to assemble. NEXT-\nLEVEL LED LIGHTING When it comes to LED lighting, the Carina is second to\nnone. Choose from millions of colors for every single key, set the keyboard to\ncycle through the entire spectrum, or opt for a single color to match your\nworkspace—the possibilities are endless. What’s more, the LEDs are situated\ntoward the center of the PCBA (as opposed to the edges), which makes them\nappear even smoother under typical lighting conditions. Don’t worry about\nflickering, either: the LEDs display at a high frequency of 100 hertz for\nclarity, night or day. FULLY PROGRAMMABLE VIA QMK Customizing your keyboard is\nessential, especially for smaller layouts. That’s why the Carina features a\nfully programmable PCBA, designed for modification. Using QMK firmware, you\nhave total control over every key. Plus, the configurator allows you to\ncustomize keymapping so you can easily fine-tune your keyboard for gaming,\nwork, or play. It’s also outfitted with the latest USB-C connection for\nreliable performance. A keyboard’s plate is a slim piece of material (usually\nmetal) that sits between the switches and the PCBA. Depending on the material\nyou choose, the plate will interact with the switches differently. In an\neffort to offer even more customization, the Carina is available with your\nchoice of three add-on plates. PICK A PLATE, ANY PLATE ALUMINUM The most\ncommon material found in custom keyboard kits, aluminum offers a good balance\nof stiffness and flexibility to complement most switches. BRASS With a higher\nstiffness rating than aluminum, it provides an even sturdier feel. COPPER\nSimilar to brass in its chemical makeup, copper provides a rigid, satisfying\nfeel.

Drop Carina Mechanical Keyboard Kit — 60% Form Factor, Tray Mount Construction with Multiple Plate Materials, Higher Stiffness and Sturdy Feel (Brass)

Description

THE BRIGHTEST SPOT IN YOUR SETUP Named after the Carina constellation, which signifies the hull of a ship in Latin, this keyboard is one vessel with a formidable foundation. Built with a frosty acrylic case and fully programmable RGB LEDs, the Carina is designed to brighten up any space. Sculpted in the 60% form factor, it’s space-efficient and portable. Unique to the Carina’s design is the combination of a tray-mount construction and hot- swap capability. In lieu of an integrated plate, the keyboard features a tray mount, allowing you to easily switch to a new plate material (three of which are available) for a different switch feel. Even with this added layer of customization, we’ve retained the keyboard’s hot-swap capability, so you can plug in new switches on the fly—no soldering required. Perhaps best of all, it takes just a Phillips-head screwdriver and a few easy steps to assemble. NEXT- LEVEL LED LIGHTING When it comes to LED lighting, the Carina is second to none. Choose from millions of colors for every single key, set the keyboard to cycle through the entire spectrum, or opt for a single color to match your workspace—the possibilities are endless. What’s more, the LEDs are situated toward the center of the PCBA (as opposed to the edges), which makes them appear even smoother under typical lighting conditions. Don’t worry about flickering, either: the LEDs display at a high frequency of 100 hertz for clarity, night or day. FULLY PROGRAMMABLE VIA QMK Customizing your keyboard is essential, especially for smaller layouts. That’s why the Carina features a fully programmable PCBA, designed for modification. Using QMK firmware, you have total control over every key. Plus, the configurator allows you to customize keymapping so you can easily fine-tune your keyboard for gaming, work, or play. It’s also outfitted with the latest USB-C connection for reliable performance. A keyboard’s plate is a slim piece of material (usually metal) that sits between the switches and the PCBA. Depending on the material you choose, the plate will interact with the switches differently. In an effort to offer even more customization, the Carina is available with your choice of three add-on plates. PICK A PLATE, ANY PLATE ALUMINUM The most common material found in custom keyboard kits, aluminum offers a good balance of stiffness and flexibility to complement most switches. BRASS With a higher stiffness rating than aluminum, it provides an even sturdier feel. COPPER Similar to brass in its chemical makeup, copper provides a rigid, satisfying feel.

Features:

  • PICK A PLATE, ANY PLATE: A keyboards plate is a slim piece of material (usually metal) that sits between the switches and the PCBA. Depending on the material you choose, the plate will interact with the switches differently. In an effort to offer even more customization, the Carina is available with your choice of three add-on plates.
  • ALUMINUM SWITH PLATE: The most common material found in custom keyboard kits, aluminum offers a good balance of stiffness and flexibility to complement most switches.
  • BRASS SWITCH PLATE: With a higher stiffness rating than aluminum, it provides an even sturdier feel.
  • COPPER SWITCH PLATE: Similar to brass in its chemical makeup, copper provides a rigid, satisfying feel.
  • FIND WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU: Many typists prefer to match stiff plates with tactile switches to accentuate their tactility, while others prefer to pair flexible plates with linear switches for a more dynamic feel.
