Feel & Sound

• Linear and smooth keystroke with no tactile feedback or click noise.
• Produces a noticeable but not overly loud clack sound, described as "lovely and clacky," which may appeal to users who like audible keypresses without sharp clicks.
• Factory lubrication reduces scratchiness and enhances smoothness out of the box.

Actuation Characteristics

• Light actuation force of 40g allows for quick key presses with less finger fatigue.
• Bottom-out force of 50g provides a consistent, slightly firmer end to each keystroke, helping prevent accidental presses.
• Pre-travel and total travel distances support a balanced typing rhythm without feeling too shallow or deep.

Build Quality

• Polycarbonate top housing and reinforced PA66 bottom housing improve structural stability and reduce wobble.
• Anti-dust design helps maintain performance and longevity in various environments.
• Single-stage 22mm spring offers consistent resistance without complex force curves.

Use Cases & Trade-offs

• Good for gaming and typing due to smooth linear action and moderate force requirements.
• Factory lube enhances feel but may limit the impact of additional lubing or modifications.
• Sound profile may be too loud for quiet office settings or shared spaces.
