    Levelling Components
  • Description

    Multi-width keycaps require a self-levelling mechanism to prevent binding on the switch and placing undue load on the keycap itself.  All Devlin manufactured keyboards feature a proven self-levelling system consisting of hinges, rod and feet designed to provide smooth relaible key travel.  For those developing their own hardware Devlin can supply all the necessary components. 

  • Series
