COMPREHENSIVE BUILD GUIDE

We designed our build guide so that anyone could successfully build the Bauer Lite. We also threw in some enthusiast tips to take your build to the next level!

SIMPLE BUILD EXPERIENCE

Bauer Lite is very simple to build. We included everything you need to assemble your Bauer Lite, including tweezers and torx wrenches.

EASILY PROGRAMMBLE

Bauer™ Lite can be programmed with the VIA app (or QMK) to create the most efficient layout for you and your workflow, whether it be work or play! Go to caniusevia.com to program your board.

Isolation mount

The Bauer Lite plate is isolated from the other parts by being compressed between foam strips and rubber bumpers. This eliminates any rattle caused by vibrations between parts. Also known as "gasket mount".

STAINLESS-STEEL HARDWARE & THREADED INSERTS

Bauer Lite's custom stainless-steel threaded inserts and torx screws allow you to take your board apart time after time.

Portable & Lightweight

Bauer™ Lite is made from high-strength injection-molded plastic, keeping it durable yet lightweight, making it perfect for travel, meetups, or your ever-changing desk setup.
