Why choose customization?

1. minority
2. individuation
3. Rich gameplay
4. Customized gameplay

Customized gameplay
The customized play is very rich, thanks to the customized content, the player is more the pursuit of personality, the focus of play will be different.

kit
The choice of the kit itself is very broad, and dozens of studios at home and abroad have started to design customized kits, and they will also design kits of different sizes and styles.
The orientation of the kit itself is also different, with a bias towards the feel and a bias towards the appearance. The former is more instrumental, while the latter has a stronger hand effect. At the same time, the same kit often has different distribution columns and material choices, which will bring different experiences. This leads to the optimization of the kit, which is also a play.
In terms of price, customization itself does not limit the price, so there are inexpensive starter kits and expensive luxury kits. The pricing of the kit should also be viewed comprehensively, and the design, materials, processing costs and even brand premium are all part of the price.
Customization is characterized by individuation and variety, just find what you like.

keycap
The key cap is often the intuitive feeling we have when we first come into contact with the customized keyboard, because after all, the customized keyboard is also the appearance of the keyboard, but the customized key cap is much different than the mass production key cap. This difference is mainly reflected in the richness of the color, as well as the fun and personality of the art key cap.
Key caps in the sale frequency is much higher than the kit, there are dozens of new sets of key caps appear every year, different heights also bring different look and feel experience. The manufacturer of the complete set of key caps is relatively fixed, so you can choose your own key cap according to your personal preferences and economic conditions.
At the same time, the number of art key caps is also very rich. Although often a single purchase, but because of the high unit price, usually a few hundred, the accumulation is also a lot of expenditure.
