Typing Experience

The inductive switches deliver stable, consistent keypresses without temperature drift or magnetic interference, which helps maintain accuracy during long sessions. The adjustable trigger point range from 0.1mm to 3.5mm allows customization of key sensitivity. The keyboard’s hard gas structure aims to provide a firm typing feel. Transparent PBT keycaps enhance RGB visibility while offering a textured surface that resists wear.

Connectivity and Compatibility

Trade-offs

• Hot-swappable sockets are limited to Tesla series switches, restricting switch variety compared to standard MX-compatible boards.
• The 80% layout lacks a dedicated number pad, which may be less suitable for users needing extensive numeric input.
• Weight of 960 grams makes it less portable compared to lighter compact keyboards.
