Operating Instructions
1. Key Switches
The keyboard features genuine CHERRY MX mechanical switches (available in Tea or Red axis variants). These switches provide crisp tactile feedback and are engineered for durability, rated for 100 million keystrokes.
2. Anti-Ghosting and N-Key Rollover
The keyboard is equipped with full N-key rollover and 100% anti-ghosting technology, ensuring that every key press is registered accurately, even during rapid and simultaneous inputs.

5. Ergonomics and Keycap Design
The keyboard features an ergonomic trapezoidal body design and original height ladder keycaps for comfortable typing during extended sessions. The ABS matte keycaps are manufactured using a high-quality screen printing process, providing a delicate touch and resistance to wear and fading.
6. Satellite Axis for Large Keys
Large keys (e.g., Spacebar, Shift, Enter) are equipped with a carefully adjusted satellite axis, ensuring stability without shaking and enhancing the consistency of the key feel.
