FAQS

• Does it support deep customization or QMK/VIA layers?
  • No QMK/VIA support; only MelGeek Hive. While it allows remapping, lighting, and macro creation, advanced layering (like SpaceFN) is limited
• What’s the out‑of‑box typing and sound experience?
  • Reviewers praise its premium feel: factory-lubed switches, quality sound, no stab rattle. One Reddit user said: “Looks premium af. Sounds amazing, not one bit modified, stabs aren’t actually aids.”
• How responsive is wireless for gaming?
  • Wired and 2.4 GHz modes offer 1000 Hz polling (1 ms). Some Amazon reviews note Bluetooth may snag occasional lag, but wireless performance overall is described as near-wired quality
