It fits well for typists and hobbyists who appreciate customization and a quieter typing experience. The keyboard offers a unique lunar-themed design and flexible cable routing, making it practical for both desk setups and aesthetic-focused users.

Key Features

Hotswap PCB allows easy switch replacement without soldering, enabling quick customization or switch upgrades.

Three-way cord channel lets you route the cable from left, right, or center underneath the keyboard, improving desk organization.
Multimedia keys provide convenient access to common functions without needing extra software.

Build Quality

Case and bottom made of ABS plastic, which is durable but less premium-feeling than metal alternatives.
Plate-mounted switches contribute to a stable typing feel and easier maintenance.
Super smooth V-silk PBT dye-sublimated keycaps resist shine and wear, maintaining legend clarity over time.
Double silicone sound dampening pads and fine-tuned stabilizers reduce typing noise and rattle for a quieter experience.
Two-step adjustable kickstand offers ergonomic angle options.

Typing Experience

Available with Cherry MX Red, Brown, Silent Red, or Kailh Prestige Light switches, covering linear, tactile, and quieter preferences.
Sound dampening features help minimize key noise, making it suitable for shared or quiet environments.
Keycaps feature five-sided dye sublimation and IMD printing for durability and visual detail, including lunar phase legends on the F-row.

Compatibility

ANSI layout with US QWERTY logical layout supports standard key arrangements for wide software compatibility.
Compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems without special drivers.

Trade-offs

No built-in audio or microphone ports, which may limit integrated multimedia setups.
ABS case material may feel less solid compared to metal cases and can be more prone to scratches.
White LED backlighting lacks color customization, which may be less appealing for users wanting RGB effects.
