Field notes
The workflow starts with a keyboard preset or custom settings for the floor row, profile, stem, and tilt, then compares selected keycap sets against each key position. The page says the plate uses a 19.05 mm unit scale and includes a height map; it also lists a Swatch feature that reads a five-colour palette from a photo. These are product claims visible on the homepage, not independently tested capabilities.
