• Provides a classic, monochrome appearance that fits well in both professional and casual setups.
• Multiple kit configurations allow customization to fit different keyboard layouts.

Material and Durability

• Made from ABS plastic, which offers a smooth texture and bright color finish.
• Keycaps are 1.5mm thick, balancing durability with a lightweight feel.
• ABS material may develop shine over time with heavy use, which is typical for this plastic type.

Profile and Feel

• Uses the CYL profile, a Cherry-compatible sculpted profile with row-specific shaping for comfortable typing.
• Supports a familiar typing experience for users accustomed to Cherry or similar profiles.

Compatibility

• Compatible with MX-style mechanical switches, including Cherry and CYL stems.
