The box is neat and tidy, with a nice and clear image the keyboard on the front, the switch type and language variant detailed, and no much else really.
Around the back, the international translations of the spec, as well as a cool breakdown image that shows you the layers of the keyboards construction. Check the next image down for a big version of that, it looks pretty cool!
Plastic housing, with a durable inner metal frame for the switch housing, so it should feel nice and sturdy.
In the box, you’ll find a detachable braided and gold-plated USB cable, a handy key cap pulling tool, as well as the usual documentation.
