Three features of HEAVY SHELL PARE65
PARE65 is a 65% layout mechanical keyboard designed by “HEAVY SHELL”.
The main features would be the super-heavy weight, made of CNC aluminum alloy, and the beauty of the shape.
Here is a brief introduction.
Super heavyweight body for stable keystroke feel
PARE65 weighs a whopping 1.6 kg.
In addition to the stable keystroke feel, users can expect a more “thocky” keystroke sound thanks to the three-layered sound-absorbing mechanism.
Beautifully shaped body
Look at the shape of this body.
Frankly, I have never seen such a beautiful aluminum body shape before.
It would satisfy my desire for ownership.
Removable top cover
The top cover of PARE65 is removable.
In addition to the advantage of easy access to the PCB, it will be possible to change the keyboard body according to one’s mood when the top case is sold separately, although this has not been announced at this time.
summary
This is a brief introduction to the new PARE65.
In addition to the 65% layout, which is very major worldwide, this is a beautiful piece of modeling.
We expect this keyboard to be popular without a doubt.
We hope you will check it out too!
