A-Stock Criteria
- A kit is considered A-Stock if:
- It has no damage, scratches, or dents larger than 1×1 mm.
- It is free from any defects that prevent it from functioning as intended.
- The external surfaces of the keyboard show no scratches, dents, or damage.
- Minor imperfections on internal surfaces (not visible during use) are acceptable.
- Marks near screw holes or anodization hook marks on internal surfaces may be present and are considered normal.
- Minor colour viration between units might occur due to different anodise batches. This is normal and will not be considered faulty.
Copper/Brass items
- Copper and brass items may naturally oxidise over time. While we take every possible measure—such as applying a protective clear coat—to minimise oxidation, it may still occur during transportation or due to environmental factors. As such, light oxidation will not be considered a quality control defect.
PC/PEI Material
- For PC/PEI material in general, there may be faint marks on the case body, and this is completely normal for PC/PEI material, so it will not be considered as scratches
- While we try to do our best (as well as installing metal thread insert screwholes) to prevent cracking, overly used of torque when turning the screws might crack the case. This does not fall under faulty category and we will not be liable for any replacements.
- PC material will get yellow over time, this is completly normal for the material, we will not be liable for return and refund.
