Know before you buy
Yes, the MK870 features a hot-swappable PCB that is compatible with both 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches, giving you full flexibility for your preferred switch brand.
Absolutely. The keyboard is fully compatible with both Windows and macOS, and the included software allows you to easily toggle between different key layouts to suit your OS.
You can connect the keyboard via a wired USB-C cable, a 2.4GHz wireless dongle for low-latency gaming, or Bluetooth for seamless switching between multiple mobile or desktop devices.
South-facing LEDs are positioned toward the bottom of the switch, which prevents interference with certain keycap profiles, such as Cherry profile, ensuring a smoother typing feel and better compatibility.
No, the keyboard is plug-and-play for standard typing. The software is only necessary if you want to customize your RGB lighting effects, remap keys, or switch between layouts like Dvorak.
The MK870 is equipped with a 2000mAh battery. Battery life will vary depending on your usage, specifically whether you have the RGB backlighting enabled or disabled.
