It fits gamers, programmers, and hobbyists who value hot-swappable switches and RGB effects. Its translucent acrylic case offers a distinctive look while supporting customization through software macros and multiple switch types.

Key Features

Hot-swappable Gateron switches let you change switch types without soldering, supporting black, red, brown, blue, or yellow variants for different typing feels.
RGB backlighting with six preset effects and over 16 million colors allows personalized lighting setups, saved in onboard 32k ROM to retain settings after power off.
Full key rollover (NKRO) ensures simultaneous key presses register accurately, useful for fast or complex input sequences.
Software macro support enables custom key sequences, enhancing productivity or gaming commands.

Build Quality

The case is made from PMMA plexiglass acrylic, providing a durable and visually distinctive translucent design.
CNC cutting offers precise construction, contributing to a solid feel and consistent key alignment.
Detachable Type-C USB 3.1 cable supports stable wired connection with high data transmission rates.

Typing Experience

Acrylic case may be less resistant to scratches compared to metal or thicker plastic alternatives.
No information on operating system compatibility beyond standard USB support.
