Keycaps sold separately.
And that’s how we arrive at the Classic-TKL, a bare-bones plastic keyboard kit designed by Nephlock and available today at NovelKeys that starts at $89 but looks, feels, and sounds much better than expected for the price. Assembly is dead simple, especially compared to the Bauer Lite kit I bought recently, which comes with a bunch of fiddly little pieces — bumpers and gaskets and feet you have to attach yourself. It’s not the cheapest good tenkeyless board you can get: the Keychron V3 Max, just to pick one example, costs $74 bare-bones and includes preinstalled stabilizers and wireless connectivity with full remapping.
