It suits typists and hobbyists who value a solid build, customizable key feel, and versatile use between wired and wireless modes. Its hotswap PCB allows changing switches without soldering, making it practical for users who like to experiment with different switch types.

Key Features

RGB backlighting with all-LED control enhances visibility and aesthetics in various lighting conditions.

Typing Experience

Connectivity

Wired mode uses USB-C with a 1000 Hz polling rate, suitable for low-latency tasks like gaming.

2.4 GHz wireless provides a middle ground with 250 Hz polling, balancing latency and wireless freedom.

Trade-offs

Polling rates vary significantly by connection type, so wireless modes may not suit users needing the fastest response.
Multimedia keys rely on preset key combinations rather than dedicated buttons, which may slow access for some users.
Unknown battery life and firmware customization options limit assessment of wireless endurance and remapping flexibility.
