Build Quality and Typing Experience

Gasket-mounted structure with high-quality materials reduces vibration and noise, resulting in a quieter, less fatiguing typing feel.
Sound dampening layers include IXPE gasket pads, PORON foam, and silicone pads, which minimize hollow sounds common in mechanical keyboards.
