The keyboard assembly consists of individual sliders and housings clipped into a steel metal plate, sitting over a rubber dome mat that covers capacitive cone-shaped springs that interact with the PCB to increase or decrease capacitance; this assembly is assembled using two different types of screws - 12 silver screws along the edge of the PCB with their location indicated by silk-screened circles, and 20 black screws throughout the PCB with locations indicated by arrows. The rubber dome mat sticks to the PCB from the factory; this seal may weaken overtime if the user frequently disassembles the assembly. The PCB also has two JST sockets - one slim one near the edge of the PCB that is left unused for normal usage, and a 5-pin JST socket where the Micro-USB port connects to the keyboard assembly. The PCB also has stickers and markings on the back; this includes the Topre branding, as well as an assumed manufacturing date - the particular example shown lists a date of 2014 June 06. | The keyboard assembly consists of individual sliders and housings clipped into a steel metal plate, sitting over a rubber dome mat that covers capacitive cone-shaped springs that interact with the PCB to increase or decrease capacitance; this assembly is assembled using two different types of screws - 12 silver screws along the edge of the PCB with their location indicated by silk-screened circles, and 20 black screws throughout the PCB with locations indicated by arrows.
