The keyboard is equipped with Cherry profile double-shot PBT keycaps. These keycaps are known for their durability, resistance to shine, and clear, long-lasting legends. The low height and gently curved surface of the Cherry profile contribute to comfortable typing over extended periods.

3.3 Gasket Mount Structure
The P75 utilizes a gasket mount design, which provides a more flexible and cushioned typing feel compared to traditional tray-mount keyboards. This structure, combined with five layers of sound-dampening materials (sandwich foam, IXPE switch film, PET sound pad, sound-absorbing foam, and EVA case foam), significantly reduces ping and rattle, resulting in a smoother and more refined auditory experience.
