Mix-and-match tops, bottoms, and plates to create your own custom colorway that is perfect for you!

Breakaway backspace plate design

The Bauer Lite plate is designed to support both full and split-backspace options without the normal compromises of your switch being crooked from the lack of proper support. We achieved this with a unique breakaway plate design. By default, the plate supports split-backspace, but just break off the center support with some pliers to use full-backspace!

Personality!

This is just a great feature of the Bauer Lite. The ability to mix and match tops and bottoms makes owning several Bauer Lite's a real consideration. Endless customization opportunities for those that want it.

The perfect mix and match!

Gone are the days when you're stuck with one color board. I originally bought a First Edition, and now I can't stop buying extra parts! It's so nice to be able to swap out bottoms and experiment with different set ups. Shipping was fast and what can I say? It's in stock!

Options in colors is a plus.

I’m curious to see what color combos people will create with the wide assortment of keycaps in the market. This color gray looks super good with GMK 80082.
