Key Features

• Supports wired USB-C, Bluetooth 5.0, and 2.4 GHz wireless connections, offering versatile use across devices and environments.
• Programmable via VIA software over wired and 2.4 GHz modes, allowing custom key mapping and macros without complex setup.
• Hot-swappable switches enable easy customization or replacement without soldering.
• RGB backlighting with A-RGB support provides adjustable lighting effects for visibility and aesthetics.

Build Quality

• CNC-machined aluminum case with gasket mount design reduces typing noise and adds a softer typing feel by isolating the plate from the case.
• FR4 plate with flex cuts and a 1.2mm flex cut PCB improve typing comfort by allowing slight plate movement.
• Multiple layers of sound absorption materials (poron, EPMD, PET) help dampen keystroke noise for quieter operation.
• Double shot PBT keycaps offer durability and resistance to shine from prolonged use.

Typing Experience

• Equipped with JWICK WOB switches, which provide a specific tactile or linear feel depending on the variant (details unknown).
• Plate mount stabilizers contribute to stable, less rattle-prone larger keys.
• Sound absorption and gasket mount reduce harsh acoustics, making it suitable for shared or quiet workspaces.

Connectivity

• Three connection methods allow seamless switching between wired and wireless modes based on user preference or device compatibility.
• 7000mAh rechargeable battery supports extended wireless use, though exact battery life is unknown.

Compatibility

• ANSI physical layout with US QWERTY logical layout suits standard users in North America.
• Compatible with Windows operating systems.
• VIA software support enables easy firmware customization without advanced technical knowledge.

Trade-offs

• FR4 plate material offers flexibility but may feel less rigid compared to metal plates preferred by some typists.
• Switch type is fixed to JWICK WOB, limiting switch variety unless user replaces switches manually.
• Battery life and wireless latency details are not specified, which may be a concern for users needing guaranteed performance.
• Layout is limited to ANSI US QWERTY, which may not suit users needing other layouts or languages.
