Key Features

• Dual connectivity with Bluetooth 5.1 and USB-C cable allows easy switching between devices or modes.
• Double shot PBT keycaps offer durable legends that resist wear and provide a consistent typing feel.
• Cherry MX2A switches deliver reliable mechanical feedback with multiple switch options to suit different typing preferences.
• Sound absorbing pad and foam improve typing acoustics by reducing noise and vibration.
• NKRO (N-key rollover) ensures all simultaneous key presses register accurately, useful for fast typists.

Build Quality

• FR4 dual-layer PCB and plate-mounted switch design contribute to a solid and stable typing platform.
• ABS case materials are standard but durable for everyday use.
• North-facing switches reduce interference with keycap legends for better visibility.

Typing Experience

• Cherry MX2A switches provide consistent actuation with options ranging from tactile to linear and silent variants.
• Sound dampening materials help create a quieter typing environment, suitable for shared or office spaces.
• Keycap profile and PBT material support comfortable finger positioning and long-term wear resistance.

Connectivity

• Bluetooth 5.1 enables wireless use with compatible devices, powered by three AAA batteries included.
• USB-C wired connection offers a stable, low-latency option when wireless is not preferred.

Compatibility

• ANSI layout with US QWERTY suits users familiar with standard key arrangements.
• Windows compatible, but no support for QMK or VIA firmware means limited remapping or macro customization.

Trade-offs

• No backlighting or LED indicators, which may be a drawback for users who prefer visual feedback or typing in low light.
• Non-hotswappable switches mean switch replacement requires soldering skills.
• Lack of audio or microphone ports limits multimedia integration.
• Battery-powered Bluetooth requires occasional battery replacement, which may be inconvenient for some users.
