Key Features

Triple-mode connectivity supports USB, Bluetooth 5.0, and 2.4 GHz wireless, allowing seamless switching and connection to up to seven devices simultaneously.

Long battery life with a 2400mAh battery offers up to 200 days of use and over a year of standby time, reducing charging frequency.

Build Quality

The case combines anodized aluminum plates and an acrylic top panel, offering a balance of rigidity and visual depth through layered materials.
Multiple color and finish options allow users to mix and match frame and top panel colors for a tailored look.
Included silicone gaskets and sound-damping inserts help reduce typing noise and improve acoustic comfort.

Trade-offs

As a kit, assembly is required, which may not suit users seeking a ready-to-use keyboard.
The 65% layout omits dedicated function keys and a numpad, which could limit productivity for some office users.
Vendor data on latency and wireless performance under load is unknown, so users sensitive to input lag should consider this.
