It fits hobbyists who enjoy modifying switches and users needing a small footprint without sacrificing key functionality. Its transparent design and built-in display add unique visual elements, while the gasket-mounted structure aims to improve typing comfort.

Key Features

Fully transparent design with clear chassis, keycaps, and switches creates a unique aesthetic and lets RGB lighting shine through.
Three connectivity modes: Bluetooth 5.1, 2.4GHz wireless, and wired USB Type-C, allowing flexible use across multiple devices.
Built-in dynamic display screen shows system info and customizable visuals, adding functional and decorative value.
Full-key hot-swappable sockets enable easy switch replacement without soldering, supporting various switch types.
Large 3750mAh battery offers up to 15 hours of use with RGB on, and up to 80 hours with backlight off, supporting extended wireless sessions.

Build Quality and Typing Experience

Gasket-mounted structure places a cushioning layer between case parts, providing an elastic typing feel and reducing noise from internal cavities.
SA profile keycaps with custom height aim to balance comfort and typing accuracy.
Tuned stabilizers minimize key wobble for steadier keypresses.
Ice Blade switches come in linear, tactile, or silent variants, covering a range of typing preferences.

Connectivity

Trade-offs

The compact 68% layout omits dedicated function keys and a number pad, which may limit productivity for some users.
Transparent PC material may show fingerprints and dust more visibly than opaque cases.
Battery life varies significantly with RGB usage, requiring management for longer wireless use.
Software customization for the display and lighting is vendor-specific, which may limit cross-platform support.
