Tempo PCB

Category: Products

Building the Tempo with a solder PCB will require additional tools (a soldering iron) to install switches. However, it enables additional layouts. 

The hotswap PCBs don't require any additional tools and allow you to easily swap out switches thanks to Kailh hotswap sockets that are pre-soldered onto the PCB. 

Both hotswap and solder PCBs are wired-only.

Eva ★★★★☆

The extra layouts are the main reason I chose the solder version, and they don't disappoint. Just know you'll need a soldering iron and a steady hand before you start, but the flexibility is worth the effort.

Ava ★★★★☆

The solder PCB is a nice middle ground if you don't mind busting out the iron; the extra layouts it unlocks are worth the effort. Just remember you'll need to buy a soldering iron separately, which I almost forgot.
