Open your Kraze 65 Keyboard Kit and see exactly what arrives: PCB, plates, hardware, and add-on options. This unboxing guide explains each component, checks for common issues, and helps you decide if extras are worth it.

Quick answer

The Kraze 65 Keyboard Kit ships with the PCB, two plates, and basic hardware; extras like additional plates and EC components are sold separately. This unboxing guide walks you through each item, what to check first, and whether the add-ons are worth the extra cost.

What to expect from the Kraze 65 packaging

The Kraze 65 arrives in a compact box with the PCB and plates separated to prevent scratches. The outer sleeve lists the case color and weight color options you selected at checkout. Inside, the PCB is wrapped in anti-static foam, and the plates are secured in a cardboard divider. Basic hardware (screws, stabilizers, and a USB cable) is tucked in a small bag. There is no pre-assembly—everything is meant for you to build yourself.

Common unboxing concerns and how to spot them

Some users report that the plate edges can have minor machining marks. Inspect the plates under good light immediately. If you see deep scratches or warping, contact support before starting the build. Also check that the PCB's USB port is aligned and not bent. The Kraze 65 uses a standard GH60 layout, so the plate holes should line up with the PCB without forcing.

Diagnosis: What's in the box and what to do next

Symptom: You open the box and see the PCB, two plates, hardware bag, and USB cable. No extra plates or EC components are included unless you ordered them as add-ons.
Likely cause: The Kraze 65 Kit is sold as a base package. Add-on extras (extra PCB, extra plates, other accessories, extra EC components) must be purchased separately via the links provided in the product description. If you expected a full set of plates or multiple PCBs, you need to place a separate order for the extras.
Corrective action: Check the packing list against your order confirmation. If extras were ordered and missing, contact UniKeys support. If you want additional plates or an EC component, use the discount code (affiliate codes are eligible; free shipping is not) to place a new order. Verify your order details before starting the build. If you need extras, order them now to avoid delays.
Stop or choose another option: If the kit is missing critical parts (e.g., PCB, plates, or hardware) or if the plates have irreparable damage, do not proceed with assembly. Contact support for a replacement. If you prefer a pre-built keyboard, consider a fully assembled model instead of this DIY kit. Do not build with damaged or missing components. Return or exchange before investing time in assembly.
