Product Description

The MelGeek Modern97 Fountain is a 97-key mechanical keyboard designed for users who want flexible connectivity and a customizable typing experience. It suits those who switch between multiple devices or prefer wireless use without sacrificing responsiveness. Its gasket mount and textured case offer a distinct feel and aesthetic, while hotswap support allows easy switch changes without soldering.

Key Features

  • Connects via USB-C, Bluetooth 5.1, or 2.4 GHz wireless, allowing up to 8 devices to pair and switch between them.
  • 1000 Hz polling rate in wired and 2.4 GHz modes supports responsive input for fast typing or gaming.
  • 16 million color RGB lighting controlled through MelGeek’s app enables extensive customization of backlighting effects.
  • Hotswap PCB compatible with both plate and PCB mount switches lets users easily change switches without soldering.
  • Double shot ABS keycaps provide durable legends that resist wear over time.

Build Quality

  • Gasket mount design reduces typing noise and vibration by isolating the plate and PCB with a flexible gasket.
  • Textured ABS case inspired by minerals offers a unique tactile feel and appearance.
  • 7.5° typing angle supports a natural wrist position for extended use.

Connectivity

  • Three connection modes cover wired and wireless needs, suitable for desktop use or mobile setups.
  • Bluetooth 5.1 and 2.4 GHz wireless provide stable connections, though battery life specifics are unknown.
  • 4000mAh battery supports wireless use but exact runtime is not specified.

Compatibility

  • ANSI layout with US QWERTY suits standard key arrangements preferred by many users.
  • Compatible with macOS and Linux, but not officially supported on Windows.
  • Does not support QMK or VIA firmware, limiting advanced key remapping options.

Trade-offs

  • ABS keycaps may develop shine faster than PBT alternatives.
  • Lack of built-in audio or microphone ports reduces multimedia integration.
  • No official Windows support may restrict use for some users.
  • Firmware limitations mean less flexibility for custom layouts or macros.
