The difference between editions
Besides the esthetics and the LED-lights are all Commodore 64 Ultimate editions exactly the same from a technical point of view and included materials.
To obtain the transparent effect of the Starlight and Founders editions lighter materials are used for the construction. This makes the device less sturdy then the basic beige edition. Some buyers have reported their example flexes a lot when pressing the keyboard. Other buyers say it is present but acceptable.
Flexing could be the result of incorrect assembly and can be significantly reduced by correcting those mistakes if present.
3th party 3D printed braces have been created to increase the structural strengt if deemed needed.
