7V Hotswap — FJLaboratories x BG08
7V Multi-Layout Hotswap with Kailh v2 — Felix Jen
Released on November 01, 2021
7V Hotswap — Replacement Multi-Layout Hotswap PCB
These 7V Hotswap PCBs were designed as a collaboration between FJLaboratories and BG08. Each PCB is painstakingly measured to fit the Gok 7V case to 0.05mm tolerances on all sides. These PCBs feature unique full wrap-around gold plating on all the edges and leaf springs, including the top and bottom sides, and support for the new Kailh V2 hotswap socket for extended service life and better plateless compatibility. Additionally, these PCBs feature RGB LEDs for use with clear-resin badges, which can be disabled if desired. Compatibility is provided for all original layouts except center-stem 6U spacebar. All gold plated areas are double-thick for improved smoothness and a heftier premium feel.
The PCB supports both QMK and VIA/Remap by default.
