==Component Options== ===Two Piece Construction=== The basic variant of a keyboard kit is a '''Two Piece Contruction'''. Such a kit consists of a case and a PCB/Plate combo. PCB and plate are only counted as ONE piece since the plate is potentially optional. Most Two Piece Construction kit also use [[Custom_Keyboard_Construction#Tray_Mount|Tray Mount]] assembly. Examples for Two Piece Construction keyboards are the [[Vortex]] [[Vortex Pok3r|Pok3r]] (Tray Mount) or the [[WhiteFox]] (Case Mount). This is the most simple variant of a keyboard kit. Anything less than a two piece kit is just individual components. ===Three Piece Construction=== Keyboard kits containing 3 main components can be referred to as '''Three Piece Construction''' kit. On top of the [[Custom_Keyboard_Construction#Two_Piece_Construction|Two Piece Contruction]] content (Bottom case, PCB/Plate), these kits usually include a top frame for the case. The frame is commonly held in place by screws through the bottom case. Some mounting options like the [[Custom_Keyboard_Construction#Case_Mount|Sandwich Mount]] and the [[Custom_Keyboard_Construction#Case_Mount|Top Frame Mount]] require a top frame. ===Additional kit components=== Keyboard kits can include additional components that do not count for the Two/Three Piece Construction classification: * Acrilic spacer/diffusor * Screw-in weight * Logo/brand plates
