Know before you buy
Yes, the Y10 features five-pin hot-swappable sockets, allowing you to easily pull out and replace switches without any soldering required.
The gasket structure provides a softer, more cushioned typing experience compared to traditional tray-mounted keyboards, which helps reduce fatigue and creates a more consistent sound profile.
Yes, the Y10 supports triple-mode connectivity, making it compatible with Windows, macOS, and mobile devices via Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless, or a wired Type-C connection.
The 5800mAh battery is quite large for a mechanical keyboard, offering significant longevity. Actual battery life will vary based on your RGB lighting settings and connection method, but it is designed to last for extended periods between charges.
SA profile keycaps have a tall, sculpted shape that many users find very comfortable and satisfying to type on. However, because they are taller than standard keycaps, you may find the included magnetic palm rest essential for maintaining a neutral wrist position.
Yes, the keyboard features 16.8 million color RGB backlighting that can be adjusted to your preference. You can customize the lighting effects and colors to suit your workspace aesthetic.
