Next-gen AFA is here
When we released AM AFA on October 24, 2022, many of our fans especially liked its unique shape and the innovative adjustable leaf spring mount.

Now, AFA R2 is ready to land on your desktop with new colors and numerous optimizations.
5 new colors
Ergonomic floating design, inspired by VF-19
The ergonomic design of AM AFA is inspired by the VF-19 variable fighter from Macross.

The ergonomic design of AM AFA is inspired by the VF-19 variable fighter from Macross.
Today, we're adding 5 all-new colors to AM AFA, each inspired by anime, games and superhero culture.

Magic Forest
Inspired by Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Frame / center frame / base: gold

Magnetic cover / key housing: dark green
VF-19 ADV V2
Inspired by the VF-19 Advance variable fighter from Macross, with fine-tuned colors from AM AFA R1

Magnetic cover / frame / base: warm white

Center frame / key housing: red
Pink Slayer
Inspired by Nezuko Kamado from manga series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Magnetic cover / frame / base: pink

Center frame / key housing: light green
Cyber Cop
Inspired by RoboCop

Frame / center frame / base: silver

Magnetic cover: black; key housing: red
Unit-01
Inspired by fictional biomechanical humanoid mecha

Frame / base: purple

Magnetic cover: black; center frame / key housing: green
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.

One type of screw for the whole keyboard. You can completely disasssemble AFA R2 with the provided single screwdriver.

Adjusting AFA's typing feel just became easier.
18 typing combos
< Rebound range: 3 gears to choose from >
By changing the position of the rubber stopper, you modify the length of the leaf spring. This changes the amount of rebound you get.
< Rebound strength: 2 materials to choose from >
We provide two types of leaf spring materials, each with their own rebound strength.
Stainless steel leaf spring: stronger rebound, harder typing feel
Phosphorus copper leaf spring: softer rebound, softer typing feel

Of course, more conventional adjustment solutions, such as a set of bottom pads and two sets of adjustment pads, are also included.

Numerous typing combos to choose from. Check out the typing test video and find the best combo for yourself.
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.
Default POM plate
Even more flex
(optional FR4 plate available)
PORON foam
Minimizes hollow sound and vibrations
Ixpe 8 switch pads with smaller cut-outs
More focused typing sound
1.2mm 4-layer hotswap PCB with cutouts and in-switch LEDs
Excellent typing feel and RGB
Pre-applied PCB pad
With precise cut-outs, removable
Custom three-layer adjustment pads
Find your perfect typing combo. One attached by default, an additional one provided in the package.
Bottom pad
Reduces hollow sound and protects PCB components
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.


Dual-mode 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.
*Potential 2.4G support. A 2.4G receiver may be offered as a separate add-on in the future.

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.

4 graffiti covers
Optional purchase (limited edition)
Optional graffiti covers designed by global users are available for AM AFA R2 (also compatible with R1). These top 4 graffiti covers were voted from the 2022 AM AFA DIY Graffiti Competition entries.
