3.3. Tri-Mode Connectivity with 4000mAh Battery

3.4. Gasket Mount Structure
Utilizing a gasket mount design, the P75 provides a superior typing feel and sound profile compared to traditional tray-mount keyboards. This structure offers a slight bounce, enhancing comfort during prolonged typing sessions and reducing finger fatigue.

3.5. Five Layers of Sound Dampening Materials and PC Plate
The P75 incorporates multiple layers of sound-dampening materials, including sandwich foam, IXPE switch film, PET sound pad, sound-absorbing foam, and EVA case foam. These layers effectively reduce ping and rattle, contributing to a smooth and refined auditory experience. The PC plate further enhances typing quality with a pleasant sound and slight flex.
3.6. Hot-Swappable PCB with Screw-in Stabilizer Support & South-Facing RGB
The hot-swappable PCB allows for easy switch changes without soldering, catering to customization enthusiasts. The default plate-mount stabilizers are pre-tuned for optimal performance, and the PCB also supports screw-in stabilizers. South-facing RGB backlighting ensures that the illumination is clearly visible, especially with non-shine-through keycaps.

3.7. Cherry Profile Double Shot PBT Keycaps
The keyboard is equipped with durable Cherry profile double-shot PBT keycaps. These keycaps are known for their resistance to shine and their clear, long-lasting legends. The low height and gently curved surface of the Cherry profile provide a comfortable typing experience, while also contributing to a bassier and softer sound profile by reducing internal sound bounce.
