Over the last round of testing, we confirmed several structural details that still needed refinement before LP63 could reach the level of fit, sound consistency, and overall finish we want.
Since then, we’ve been working closely with the factory on the next structural revision. The latest engineering feedback is now in, and the internal support direction has been further clarified.
What we’re refining
The main focus of this revision is still the same:
- improve support stability
- reduce unnecessary movement inside the structure
- avoid hard bottom contact under heavy typing
- improve sound consistency for production
- preserve the clean, slim external look LP63 is built around
Updated O-ring support direction
The previous idea of discrete silicone support pieces has now moved toward a more stable front-and-rear strip-based support structure.
The goal here is straightforward: instead of relying on isolated support points, the support path becomes more continuous and predictable. That helps the internal assembly sit more consistently, which matters not only for typing feel, but also for final fit and sound repeatability.
The latest factory feedback also confirms that the lower case already has the necessary clearance designed in, so the revised support structure still has enough space to work without unwanted interference.
Clearance and contact control
Another key part of this update is making sure that under stronger typing, internal parts do not create harsh contact with the lower case.
That means the structure is being refined with deliberate clearance in the necessary areas, rather than relying on tight margins and hoping assembly tolerances stay perfect. This is especially important for keeping bottom-out impact from turning into unpleasant case noise.
Internal stack and stabilization
The revised direction also continues to support the internal damping strategy we’ve been discussing:
- structural support that is easier to stabilize in production
- controlled clearance where impact would otherwise become harsh
- a damping stack that keeps the sound clean without turning the board dull
The focus is not on adding material for the sake of complexity. The focus is on making the structure more controlled, more repeatable, and better resolved as a product.
Why this matters
LP63 is not just about putting Hall effect into a compact aluminum keyboard.
The real goal is to make a board that feels visually precise, sounds clean, and holds together as a complete product — not only in one tuned sample, but in actual production.
This round of structural work is part of that process.
We’re still refining, but the path is getting more concrete:
better support logic, cleaner clearance handling, and a more production-ready internal structure.
More updates soon.
