Scratch-resistant glass center PCB cover

To improve the scratch resistance of the original acrylic center PCB cover of AFA R1, we upgraded AFA R2's center cover to real glass. With its increased resistance against wear and scratches, you can keep the porthole of your beloved fighter perfectly transparent at all times.

(AFA R2's glass center cover is compatible with AFA R1)

3+2 axis CNC

Ergonomic floating design

It takes 10 hours of high-precision 3+2 axis CNC processing and manual polishing to recreate the ergonomic and floating feeling of a VF-19 fighter.

Three-Stage Adjustable Leaf Spring Mount

Personalize your typing feel

When it comes to typing feel, everyone has their own preferences.

We let ourselves be inspired by adjustable coilover suspension from the automotive industry and implemented our world's first adjustable leaf spring mount on AM AFA. You can adjust both the strength and the range of the rebound.

Improved structure for faster disassembly

Although we went through great lengths to create our adjustable leaf spring mount for AFA R1, not that many users have tried adjusting it due to AFA R1's complicated disassembly and re-assembly process.

Therefore, we have optimized the internal structure of AFA R2. It is no longer necessary to disassemble the entire key housing to adjust the leaf springs. All you need is to unscrew four screws on the left and right key housings and take out the PCB assembly (AFA R1 requires 24 screws).

We also removed the panel gaps on the key housing for a more uniform look.

Just one type of screw for the whole keyboard. You can completely disassemble AFA R2 with the provided single screwdriver.

Adjusting AFA's typing feel just became easier.

Modular design

Next level typing feel and sound

AM AFA adopts a modular design. All modules (key housing / battery / mainboard / wireless charging) are installed independently into the frame.

The spacing between the left and right key housing of AM AFA is nearly 13 times larger than the 5mm spacing of the original Alice arrangement. With its ultra-large 64.5mm spacing, there's a significant opening angle between the elbow and the shoulder and thus excessive inward clamping of the elbow is minimized, and therefore the burden on the shoulders is reduced.

We designed AFA R2 with separate key housings for the left side and the right side, which reduces the load of the PCB and plate on the mount by half, providing a more consistent feel.

We even went one step further by removing the mainboard, battery, wireless charging coil and other hardware from the key housings, minimizing their interior space to the maximum extent.

And subsequently, it brings a significant improvement in reducing hollow typing sound.

As for the internals, we made sure we didn't miss out on anything that could potentially improve AFA's typing feel and sound.

DIY RGB lighting

In addition to the default built-in lighting effects, you can create your own unique and exclusive RGB effects. AM AFA supports custom in-switch and center LED lighting that you can edit according to your own preferences.

Tri-mode 2.4G / Bluetooth / wired connectivity

Often used in the mobile phone industry, AFA has laser-engraved antenna placed directly under the glass center cover for minimal interference. This to ensure a fast and stable wireless connection experience.

In addition, wireless 2.4G connectivity is supported through the use of AM Sniper2.4.

(AM Sniper2.4 is available for purchase seperately)

Free Hover wrist rest included

Due to AFA's unique shape, it's relatively high on the front. Therefore, AFA R2 comes with a pair of Hover memory foam magnetic levitation wrist rests, just like AFA R1. These perfectly match the front height of AFA and allow you to move your wrists flexibly.
