Key features
- Gasket-mounted structure: This design uses soft material between the plate and the PCB to reduce vibrations and typing noise, providing a softer and quieter feel. It is complemented by five layers of sound-dampening foam.
- 87-key TKL layout: A compact layout that removes the number pad to save desk space while retaining all other essential keys.
- Wired connectivity: You can connect the keyboard via three different methods:
- Wired (USB-C): For a stable, low-latency connection.
- Hot-swappable switches: The PCB allows you to change the mechanical switches without soldering. While most versions are hot-swappable, some sellers indicate that the wired-only versions with certain switches (e.g., wired blue/brown) may not support hot-swapping.
- PBT doubleshot keycaps: These durable keycaps have legends that won’t fade over time. The keycaps come in an OEM profile, a popular choice that provides a comfortable typing experience for many users.
