Polaris Solder Replacement PCBs — FJLaboratories

Aftermarket Replacement Solder PCBs for the ai03 Polaris Gasket Mount Keyboard — Felix Jen

Released on May 21, 2021


ai03 Polaris Solder PCBs

Designed and produced by FJLaboratories, these aftermarket solder PCBs were made to fit the ai03 Polaris gasket mount keyboard. These PCBs use high grade FR4 for long term durability and heat tolerance even in intense desoldering. Furthermore, these PCBs are only 1.2mm thick—like the original Polaris PCBs—for ultimately flexibility.
