PBTfans Holy80 version Rim R2 Mechanical Keyboard

The keyboard features a premium construction with an aluminum top and bottom case, manufactured using CNC processes for precision and durability. This robust metal chassis not only provides a solid and weighty feel but also ensures long-term resilience against daily wear and tear. The design is sleek and modern, with clean lines and a compact 80% layout that saves desk space while retaining essential keys for productivity and gaming. The bottom cover is available in two styles: an internal bottom cover or a full-bottom plate made entirely of polycarbonate (PC). The full-bottom version enhances light diffusion, creating a visually striking effect for users who enjoy RGB or underglow lighting. Rubber feet and silicone bumpers are included to prevent slipping and dampen vibrations, further improving typing comfort. The keyboard’s build quality is complemented by thoughtful ergonomic considerations, such as a gentle typing angle and well-spaced key arrangement, making it suitable for extended typing sessions.

This keyboard is designed with a focus on reliability and performance, offering wired-only connectivity. By utilizing a USB connection, it ensures a stable and uninterrupted link between the keyboard and the computer, which is essential for competitive gaming, fast-paced typing, and professional workflows where input lag or wireless interference cannot be tolerated. The included USB cable is robust and long enough to accommodate a variety of desk setups, and the JST cable provides secure internal connections for modularity and ease of assembly. While it does not offer wireless connectivity, this design choice eliminates concerns about battery life, charging, or potential wireless interference. Users can enjoy consistent performance without the need to manage power settings or worry about connectivity drops. The keyboard is compatible with all major operating systems that support standard USB HID devices, ensuring plug-and-play functionality across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms. Switching between devices is as simple as unplugging and reconnecting the USB cable, making it straightforward for users who move between workstations or setups.

Personalization is at the heart of this keyboard’s design. The hot-swappable PCB allows users to experiment with different mechanical switches, catering to individual preferences for tactile feedback, actuation force, and sound. Key remapping is supported via compatible open-source software, enabling users to customize key functions, create macros, or adjust layouts to suit their workflow or gaming needs. Aesthetically, the keyboard offers several avenues for customization. The full polycarbonate bottom plate enhances light diffusion, making it perfect for users who enjoy underglow or RGB lighting effects. For those seeking a truly unique look, the optional tape mod allows users to add custom patterns or images to the bottom plate, creating a one-of-a-kind visual statement. The ANSI layout ensures compatibility with a vast array of aftermarket keycap sets, including the included PBTfans Rim R2 base kit, allowing users to further personalize the appearance and feel of their keyboard.

What sets this keyboard apart is its meticulous attention to both performance and personalization. The inclusion of a dual silicone diffuser and multiple plate options allows users to fine-tune the typing experience and acoustics. The optional tape mod for the bottom plate is a rare feature, enabling users to display custom images or patterns beneath the keyboard for a truly individualized look. Its robust wired connectivity, ultra-fast polling rate, and premium construction make it an exceptional choice for enthusiasts who value both function and flair in their daily typing or gaming sessions.
