It suits gamers and professionals needing low-latency wireless options and those who value switch customization without soldering. Its long battery life and sound-dampening design make it practical for extended use in various settings.

Key Features

Three-mode connectivity: switch easily between 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired USB-C for flexible use.
Hot-swappable switches allow quick customization without soldering, supporting different switch types to match typing preferences.
Large 10000mAh battery supports extended wireless use, reducing the need for frequent charging.

Build Quality

Gasket mount design cushions the typing surface, reducing noise and providing a softer keypress feel.
Five layers of sound-dampening padding further minimize typing noise for a quieter environment.
Durable PBT double-shot keycaps resist wear and maintain legends over time.
Minimalist magnetic side plate stores the 2.4GHz receiver, keeping the design clean and functional.

Typing Experience

Multiple switch options, mostly linear, offer smooth and responsive keystrokes with varying actuation forces and sound profiles.
Sound dampening and gasket mount reduce harsh typing noise, suitable for shared or quiet spaces.
South-facing per-key RGB lighting provides even illumination without interfering with keycap legends.

Connectivity and Compatibility

The keyboard is relatively heavy, which may affect portability.
Some switch types and color options may be limited depending on availability.
Firmware and keymapping customization details are unknown, which may limit advanced remapping needs.
