PlayKeyboard Smurve80 R2

Its 80% TKL layout is paired with a gently curved, injection-molded case inspired by the shape of the IBM Model M. The Lume Edition adds a frosted, semi-transparent finish, so the internal components show through softly and the RGB lighting glows beneath the keycaps.

The shallow arc is designed to follow the natural position of your hands, giving the keyboard a distinctive feel during extended typing. Comfort is personal, but the curve is intended to be practical as well as visual—not simply a decorative flourish.

First Light has a milky, translucent case with clear keycaps, while Last Night uses a darker tinted translucent case with black keycaps. Both have the same frosted finish that gives the interior and lighting a diffused appearance.

You can connect by USB-C, 2.4 GHz wireless, or Bluetooth. USB-C and 2.4 GHz operate at a 1000 Hz polling rate; Bluetooth operates at 125 Hz. It is compatible with Windows and macOS.

The built-in 8000 mAh battery is rated for about 266–320 hours with the lighting off. With full lighting enabled, the stated range is approximately 23.5–40 hours. Actual runtime can vary with settings and use.

The integrated solenoid creates a small physical tap and an audible response as you type, giving the keyboard a typewriter-like rhythm. It adds a tactile character beyond the feel and sound of the switches themselves.

Yes. The hot-swap PCB accepts MX-compatible switches, so you can replace the preinstalled switches without soldering. The selected switches arrive preinstalled and factory-lubricated.

Cherry MX Honey is a damped tactile option with a noticeable bump. HMX Retro Sakura is a quiet linear switch with a smooth, bump-free press, while HMX Akari is a light, smooth linear switch with a crisp return. The three options offer different sound and feel preferences.

The 6.25u version has 87 ANSI-layout keys and transparent PC keycaps; the 7u version has 86 keys and non-transparent PBT keycaps. They use different PCBs, so the bottom-row configuration cannot be swapped later.

Yes. Its 80% TKL layout keeps the function row and dedicated arrow keys while omitting the separate number pad. The board uses an ANSI layout.

The keyboard has south-facing RGB lighting, which shines beneath the keycaps for a softer glow through the translucent case. It is VIA-compatible for key remapping and supported customization.

The Smurve80 combines a gasket mount with an aluminium plate. This construction sits beneath the hot-swap PCB and contributes to the keyboard’s overall typing feel.

No assembly is needed for normal use: the keyboard comes built with its selected switches and keycaps already installed. You can still change compatible switches or keycaps later.
