Key Features

• Hotswap PCB allows changing switches without soldering, simplifying customization and maintenance.

Build Quality

• Plate mount stabilizers improve key stability but may require tuning for optimal feel.
• Keycaps are double shot PBT in an MDA profile, offering durability and a sculpted typing surface.

Typing Experience

• Gasket mount and sound-absorbing materials contribute to a quieter, softer typing experience compared to typical plate-mounted boards.
• Switch options include Kailh Box Brown and Kailh Box Plastic, providing tactile or linear feedback depending on preference.

Compatibility and Layout

• ANSI layout with US QWERTY logical arrangement suits users familiar with standard key placements.
• Compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems, supporting broad user environments.
• Firmware supports key remapping and macros via the vendor’s software.

Trade-offs

• No built-in audio or microphone ports, limiting multimedia integration.
