Key Features

• Compact 65% layout with 68 keys, saving desk space while retaining arrow keys and some navigation functions.
• Cherry MX Speed Silver switches offer a smooth, low-force linear feel, good for fast typing and gaming responsiveness.
• Thick Dye Sub PBT keycaps provide durable legends that resist wear and a textured surface that improves grip.
• Two-stage adjustable feet allow users to customize typing angle for comfort.

Build Quality

• Top and bottom cases are made of ABS plastic, which keeps the keyboard lightweight but may be less durable than metal alternatives.
• Keycaps are made from PBT, known for higher resistance to shine and wear compared to ABS keycaps.
• Dye sublimation printing ensures legends do not fade easily over time.

Typing Experience

• Linear Cherry MX Speed Silver switches provide quiet, smooth keystrokes with a short actuation point, suitable for users who prefer quick key response.
• Absence of backlighting means no visual distractions but limits use in low-light environments.

Connectivity and Compatibility

• USB-C wired connection ensures stable and low-latency input, ideal for gaming and professional use.
• ANSI layout with US QWERTY logical layout fits standard key mapping, compatible with Windows systems.

Trade-offs

• No wireless option, limiting portability and flexibility for multi-device use.
• Lack of backlighting may be a drawback for users who need illuminated keys or prefer RGB customization.
• ABS case material may feel less premium and be more prone to scratches compared to metal cases.
