Yes, the Chilkey ND75 features a hot-swap PCB with hot-swap sockets, enabling you to easily install or change mechanical switches without soldering. This allows you to experiment with different switch types to find the perfect typing experience tailored to your preferences.

The keyboard uses an ISO layout, which means it requires keycaps that fit ISO-specific keys, such as the larger Enter key and the additional key next to the left Shift. Most standard ISO keycap sets designed for 75% or full-size keyboards will be compatible, but be sure to choose sets that support ISO-DE variants if you want the exact layout.

The Tri-Mode PCB in the Chilkey ND75 supports three connection modes: wired USB-C, Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz wireless. This flexibility allows you to switch seamlessly between a reliable wired connection for gaming or work, and wireless modes for convenience and portability, making it suitable for varied usage scenarios.

The ND75 offers multiple mounting styles including Split O-Ring Mount, Silica Gel Particle Mount, and Top Mount. These options let you tailor the keyboard’s sound and typing feedback by modifying how the plate and PCB are secured within the case, giving you the ability to create a uniquely comfortable and satisfying typing experience.
