When you order a Bauer Lite IRL Edition at an event, we will ship your order to you free of charge.
You will not receive the board at the table at the time of purchasing.
This allows us to put no limit on the number available at the event, as carrying physical stock is very cumbersome.
You must visit the Omnitype booth to purchase. There will be a physical unit on our table for you to look at in person.
Yes, you can add anything else we have in stock to your order.

Omnitype® - Wherever we are
The bottom printing on the board is padprinted and can scratch off.
This board is not available online.
Switches, and stabilizers are not included.
The images shown are used for illustrative purposes only. While we aim to accurately estimate and reproduce colors, there may be minor variations in the color of the actual product because of differences in display output due to lighting and digital photography and color settings and capabilities of monitors.
Plastic parts are made via injection molding, which has the possibility to have small defects that include flow lines, weld lines, warping, sink marks, and jetting.
Breakaway backspace plate design
The Bauer Lite plate is designed to support both full and split-backspace options without the normal compromises of your switch being crooked from the lack of proper support. We achieved this with a unique breakaway plate design. By default, the plate supports split-backspace, but just break off the center support with some pliers to use full-backspace!
