Know before you buy
The gasket mount design suspends the keyboard plate within the case using soft gaskets rather than rigid screws. This creates a cushioned, slightly flexible typing feel that reduces harsh vibrations and provides a more consistent sound profile across the entire board.
The AC081 features a hot-swappable PCB, meaning you can pull out and replace the mechanical switches without any soldering. It is compatible with most standard 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches, allowing you to customize the feel and sound of your keyboard easily.
The JSA profile is an ergonomic shape designed for comfort during extended typing sessions. It is generally taller and more sculpted than standard OEM or Cherry profiles, providing a distinct, contoured surface that helps your fingers find the center of each key.
While the focus is on premium acoustics and typing comfort, the AC081 is fully capable for gaming. It includes anti-ghosting technology to ensure accurate input registration during fast-paced play and a compact 75% layout that leaves more room on your desk for mouse movement.
Yes, the CNC-machined aluminum alloy case gives the keyboard a substantial weight of 1.6kg. This heft ensures the keyboard stays firmly in place on your desk and contributes to the overall premium, solid build quality.
Yes, the keyboard comes with 18 built-in RGB lighting effects that you can cycle through directly from the board. This allows you to adjust the visual aesthetic to match your setup without needing to install complex software.
