Know before you buy
Yes, this keyboard features a hot-swappable PCB. You can easily remove and replace the stock Razer Orange switches with most 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches without needing to solder.
The 75% layout removes the dedicated number pad found on full-sized keyboards while retaining the function row and arrow keys. It is a compact design that saves significant desk space for mouse movement while keeping essential keys accessible.
The gasket-mounted FR4 plate, combined with integrated sound-dampening foam, provides a softer, more cushioned typing feel. This construction helps reduce harsh vibrations and creates a more refined, muted sound profile compared to standard tray-mounted keyboards.
Yes, the keyboard uses standard mechanical switch stems, making it compatible with most third-party keycap sets. You can easily swap the included doubleshot ABS keycaps for custom sets to change the aesthetic or feel of your board.
Absolutely. The keyboard supports per-key Razer Chroma RGB lighting and a 2-side underglow, all of which can be fully customized and synced with other Razer devices using the Razer Synapse software.
Yes, the included plush leatherette wrist rest is magnetic. It attaches and detaches easily, allowing you to quickly adjust your setup based on whether you need extra support for long gaming sessions or more space on your desk.
