High-Precision Magnetic Switch Technology
The JEDEL KL170 features advanced Magnetic Switch technology, designed to provide highly accurate and responsive key detection for gaming and everyday keyboard use. Unlike conventional mechanical switches that rely primarily on physical contact points for actuation, magnetic switch technology is designed around precise key movement detection. This makes the KL170 particularly suitable for competitive gaming environments where quick directional changes, repeated inputs, and consistent key response are important. The magnetic switch system gives the keyboard a modern performance-oriented foundation while maintaining the familiar experience of a compact gaming keyboard.
0.1mm Precision for Accurate Control
One of the most important performance specifications of the KL170 is its 0.1mm precision. This allows the keyboard to detect fine changes in key movement with a high degree of accuracy, providing gamers with more precise input control. Such precision can be particularly useful in competitive FPS and movement-focused games where quick changes between key presses and releases can directly affect character movement. Combined with magnetic switch technology, the 0.1mm precision specification makes the KL170 a compelling choice for gamers looking to move beyond conventional mechanical keyboard technology.
1000Hz Wired & Wireless Polling Rate
The JEDEL KL170 supports a 1000Hz polling rate in both wired and wireless modes, helping provide responsive communication between the keyboard and connected computer. A 1000Hz polling rate allows the keyboard to report input at a high frequency, reducing the interval between physical key movement and system detection. More importantly, JEDEL specifies the same 1K polling performance for both wired and wireless operation, giving users greater flexibility when choosing their preferred connection method without sacrificing the keyboard’s stated polling performance.
RGB Lighting with 21 Lighting Modes
To complement its gaming-focused performance, the KL170 includes RGB illumination with 21 different lighting modes. The wide selection of lighting effects gives users plenty of flexibility to personalize the appearance of their gaming station or desktop environment. Different lighting modes can be selected according to individual preference, allowing the keyboard to work with both vibrant RGB gaming setups and more subtle desktop configurations. The RGB system also pairs particularly well with the KL170’s side-printed keycap design, contributing to a clean and distinctive modern gaming aesthetic.
Contour Side-Printed Keycaps
JEDEL equips the KL170 with Contour Side-Printed Keycaps, giving the keyboard a distinctive appearance compared with conventional top-printed gaming keyboards. Moving the legends to the side helps create a cleaner appearance across the top surface of the keycaps while complementing the keyboard’s RGB lighting and compact design. The contoured keycap styling also contributes to the overall gaming-focused appearance of the KL170, making it suitable for users who value both performance and the visual presentation of their gaming peripherals.
Compact 68-Key Form Factor
With its 68-key compact layout, the JEDEL KL170 delivers essential keyboard functionality while reducing the amount of valuable desktop space occupied by the keyboard. It measures approximately 316 × 125 × 37.5mm and weighs around 546g, making it suitable for minimalist gaming stations, smaller desks, and portable setups. The reduced width also creates additional room for larger mouse movements, an important advantage for competitive FPS players using low mouse sensitivity. For wired operation, JEDEL provides a 1.5-meter straight Type-C cable, completing the keyboard’s compact and practical design.
