Build Quality

• Steel plate and ABS frame add stability and durability, while sound-absorbing foam and silicone dampening reduce typing noise.
• PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizers minimize key wobble on larger keys, improving typing consistency.
• Double-shot PBT keycaps with OSA profile offer a comfortable fingertip feel and resist oil buildup over time.

Typing Experience

• Added weight and dampening materials contribute to a quieter, more stable typing sound.
• Tenkeyless layout with full 108-key ANSI design balances compactness with full functionality.

Connectivity

• Offers Bluetooth 5.1 wireless and USB Type-C wired connections, allowing use with multiple devices and low-latency wired mode for gaming.
• Wireless mode supports up to 300 hours without backlight and around 100 hours with RGB at low brightness, based on lab tests.

Compatibility

• Compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux, including dedicated keycaps and layouts for each system.
• ISO layout options available for various European languages, supporting regional preferences.

Trade-offs

• Backlight is not shine-through on keycaps, which may limit visibility in very low light conditions.
• Wireless polling rate is lower (90Hz) compared to wired mode (1000Hz), which could affect responsiveness in competitive gaming.
• ABS frame may be less durable than metal alternatives over long-term heavy use.
