Description

The Uni v4 keyboard offers an efficient, minimalistic design with an ortholinear layout and fast Gateron Clear switches with only 35g actuation force. Its sleek black PCB and white keycaps are complemented by the Plover bird artwork on the backplate. Built for fast stenography, the Uni v4 is ideal for use with the Plover software.

Features:

• No assembly required
• You can use your normal keyboard and the Uni at the same time
• Each switch's spring weight is 35 grams, and you can replace the springs without desoldering.
• Made to work with Plover's Gemini PR machine settings, see the video for more info
• Composed of three layers: backplate, PCB, and switch plate.
