DryMartini DM108

The DryMartini DM108 is a full-size mechanical keyboard designed for users who want flexible connectivity and easy switch customization. It suits typists or hobbyists who value a standard 108-key layout with wireless and wired options, plus the ability to swap switches without soldering. Its features support both Windows and Mac users, making it versatile for mixed environments.

Key Features

• Tri-mode connection allows wired, 2.4 GHz wireless, and Bluetooth 5.0 use, offering flexibility for different setups.
• South-facing per-key RGB lighting improves compatibility with keycaps that have legends on top, enhancing lighting visibility.
• Hotswappable sockets support both 3-pin and 5-pin switches, enabling easy switch replacement without tools or soldering.
• Polycarbonate plate with gasket mounting reduces typing noise and provides a softer, cushioned typing feel.
• Switchable Windows and Mac modes simplify use across operating systems without manual remapping.

Build Quality

The keyboard features a polycarbonate plate combined with foam inside the case to dampen sound and vibrations. The gasket-mounted design isolates the plate from the case, which can improve typing comfort by reducing harsh feedback. The case material is PE, which is durable but may feel lighter compared to metal alternatives.

Connectivity

Users can choose between wired USB connection, 2.4 GHz wireless, or Bluetooth 5.0. This range covers low-latency needs with wired use and convenience with wireless modes. Switching between devices or operating systems is supported, but specific latency or battery life details are unknown.

Compatibility

The full 108-key layout supports standard keycap sets and plate-mounted stabilizers, making it compatible with common aftermarket parts. It works with both Windows and Mac systems, with a dedicated mode switch to adjust key functions accordingly. Firmware and keymapping options are unknown.

Trade-offs

• Warehouse clearance status means units may have minor cosmetic wear and no warranty, which could affect long-term reliability.
• The case material and foam dampening prioritize quieter typing but may not appeal to users who prefer a heavier, more rigid build.
• Battery life and wireless performance details are not provided, so wireless use may require further user evaluation.
• International shipping is restricted due to battery inclusion, limiting availability for some users.
