Know before you buy
The 90% layout is a compact design that retains essential keys, including the number pad, while removing unnecessary spacing. It offers the functionality of a full-sized keyboard but takes up significantly less room on your desk.
Yes, the K688 features a hot-swappable PCB. This allows you to pull out the pre-installed cream switches and replace them with most standard 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches without needing to solder.
The gasket structure mounts the keyboard plate using flexible materials rather than rigid screws. This creates a softer, more cushioned typing feel and a more consistent sound profile compared to traditional tray-mount keyboards.
MDA profile keycaps feature a slightly shorter height and a larger, more sculpted surface area than standard OEM keycaps. This design is generally considered more ergonomic, as it helps your fingers rest naturally and reduces fatigue during long typing sessions.
The keyboard includes a built-in sensor that detects ambient sound or music in your environment. When enabled, the RGB lighting will pulse or change colors in sync with the audio, creating a dynamic visual effect.
Tri-mode connectivity means you can connect the keyboard via 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, or a wired USB-C cable. This allows you to switch between multiple devices, such as a desktop, laptop, or tablet, seamlessly.
