Know before you buy
Yes, the grid 100 Ver.Flash features hot-swappable sockets, allowing you to easily pull out the included switches and replace them with any standard MX-style mechanical switch without soldering.
The device is fully compatible with QMK, VIA, and Vial. This means you can remap keys, create macros, and adjust the ARGB lighting settings using these industry-standard open-source tools on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
The keypad comes with semi-silent mechanical switches designed to reduce noise while maintaining a tactile feel. Combined with the PORON gasket-mounted system, the typing experience is significantly quieter than a standard mechanical keyboard.
The gasket mount, which uses PORON foam to isolate the plate from the aluminum chassis, eliminates harsh vibrations and metallic pinging. This results in a softer, more consistent, and premium typing feel compared to traditional tray-mounted keypads.
Yes, the integrated ARGB light bar features 20 LEDs that can be fully customized through the VIA or Vial software. You can adjust the colors, brightness, and lighting patterns to match your desk setup.
The keypad connects via a USB-C port and is powered directly through your computer. It is a plug-and-play device that works seamlessly across Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.
