75% Layout

This keyboard features an 82-key 75% layout, which retains essential arrow and function keys while optimizing desk space. This compact design is ideal for users who require a balance between functionality and a smaller footprint.

Multi-Function Rotary Knob

The integrated metal rotary knob allows for independent control of volume levels. Turn the knob to adjust the volume (Min to Max) and press it to mute or unmute audio. This feature is compatible with both Mac and Windows operating systems.

RGB Backlighting

The keyboard features vibrant RGB backlighting with over 18 effects, 5 brightness levels, and 5 lighting speeds. The PBT keycaps are designed for high light transmittance, ensuring clear visibility of characters in backlit mode. The keyboard uses 16.8 million south-facing RGB LEDs.

Gasket Mounted Design

The gasket-mounted design, coupled with a Flex-cut PC plate and five layers of sound insulation (Poron sandwich cotton, IXPE under-axis pad, PET premium sound pad, and bottom cotton/silicone), significantly reduces noise. The 1.2 mm PCB board slot and PC positioning board slot optimize resilience and stability, providing a softer and more elastic typing feel.

Hot-Swappable Switches

The high-quality PCB supports 3/5-pin hot-swappable switches, allowing you to easily change switches without soldering. The pre-lubed Moon Yellow Linear Switches offer a fast response, improved accuracy, and strong stability, effectively preventing false touches.

Durable PBT Keycaps

The keyboard is equipped with durable PBT keycaps, known for their oil-resistant and wear-resistant properties. These keycaps maintain their texture and appearance over time, ensuring longevity and a consistent typing experience.

N-Key Rollover (NKRO)

With N-key rollover (NKRO), the keyboard can accurately register simultaneous presses of multiple keys. This is crucial for fast typing, complex hotkey combinations, and intense gaming scenarios, preventing any missed inputs.
