• Produces a muted sound profile, making it suitable for quiet environments.

Actuation Characteristics

• Requires moderate operating force, offering a balance between light and firm presses.
• Pre-travel distance allows for early key activation, supporting quick response.
• Total travel distance is standard, providing familiar bottom-out feedback.

Build Quality

• Uses gold contacts on the leaf spring and terminal for reliable electrical performance.
• Incorporates a patented double side wall structure that stabilizes the stem, reducing wobble during keypresses.
• Transparent upper and lower housings enable clear backlight diffusion.
