The Createkeebs LuminKey80 II is a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard for users who want wireless options and switch-swapping flexibility without a number pad. It suits desk setups that need both customization and a choice of wired or wireless connection, but is less suitable if you need built-in backlighting.
Its gasket mount uses cushioning between the plate and case to soften the typing feel. The included linear switches have a medium-light actuation force, while the hot-swap PCB lets you change switches without soldering. QMK and VIA support allow custom keymaps and shortcuts. Dye-sublimated PBT keycaps are included.
The aluminum case and external aluminum and stainless steel weight provide a substantial desk presence. Connect over USB-C, Bluetooth, or 2.4 GHz wireless. Wired and 2.4 GHz modes support up to 1000Hz polling, which may suit gaming setups that use a high polling rate. Battery runtime is unknown.
The standard configuration is ANSI. The PCB also supports ISO, but ISO keycaps and LED indicator keycaps are not included. Windows, macOS, and Linux compatibility is listed, though details on operating-system-specific setup are unknown.
