The keyboard offers two primary mounting styles: the classic Top Mount and the PCB Gasket Mount. The Top Mount provides a firmer, more responsive typing experience by securing the plate directly to the case. In contrast, the PCB Gasket Mount uses silicone gaskets to create a softer, bouncier, and more flexible typing feel, which also helps dampen vibrations and reduce noise.

Yes, by using the solderable PCB option, you can assemble the keyboard in a plateless configuration. This build style maximizes the keyboard’s flex and produces a unique, deeper sound profile. It also accentuates the softer typing experience, especially when combined with the PCB Gasket Mount.

The keyboard features a custom-molded Force Break system with silicone pads strategically placed to create buffers between case components. These pads absorb vibrations and effectively eliminate metallic ping, resulting in a cleaner and more pleasant sound signature while typing.

The top case is made from high-quality aluminum available in sandblasted anodized or a fine matte E-coating finish, both providing a premium tactile feel and highlighting the keyboard’s clean lines. The bottom case combines aluminum with options for copper or stainless steel weights and offers various surface textures including anodized, raw, textured, and sandblasted, allowing for striking two-tone color combinations.

Yes, it supports magnetic switches which come with an adjustable actuation point in 0.01mm increments, allowing for precise customization. The keyboard’s PCB supports a true 8K polling rate with magnetic switches, ensuring ultra-responsive input. Additionally, the gasket mount is fully compatible with magnetic switches, maintaining both comfort and performance.

There are multiple PCB options including wired solder, hot-swap, and a dual-mode PCB that supports both wired and Bluetooth wireless connections. The PCBs are 1.6mm thick FR4 material and support advanced configurators like AVA, VIAL, and VIA, enabling deep customization of layouts and features. The dual-mode PCB offers excellent battery life and seamless wireless functionality.

Beyond the Force Break silicone pads, the keyboard’s mounting points are thoughtfully placed to avoid resonance-prone areas such as the spacebar. Silicone dampeners physically decouple the plate from the upper housing, mitigating resonance conduction. This multi-layered approach significantly reduces structural noise and creates a more satisfying acoustic experience.

Yes, you can customize the keyboard’s weight by selecting from aluminum, stainless steel, or copper weight bars. These weight bars add substantial heft and stability to the keyboard, enhancing the typing experience and allowing you to tailor the keyboard’s balance and feel to your preference.

The keyboard is designed with a 9-degree typing angle, which provides a comfortable wrist position for most users. This angle helps reduce strain during long typing sessions and promotes a natural hand posture, contributing to overall ergonomic benefits.

The dual-mode PCB achieves extremely low latency with 1.25ms for MX-style switches and an impressive 0.125ms for magnetic switches in wired mode. While wireless mode latency is slightly higher due to Bluetooth transmission, the design ensures the delay remains minimal and imperceptible for everyday use, maintaining a responsive typing experience.
