Know before you buy
The gasket mount provides a softer, more cushioned typing feel compared to traditional tray-mounted keyboards. It helps absorb the impact of each keystroke, resulting in a more consistent sound profile and reduced finger fatigue during long sessions.
Yes, the AL66 features hot-swappable sockets, allowing you to easily pull out the stock switches and plug in most 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches without any soldering.
The metal knob is designed for intuitive control over your media. By default, it manages volume, but it can also be used to adjust RGB lighting settings, providing a tactile way to customize your setup on the fly.
Absolutely. The AL66 is compatible with Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. You can seamlessly switch between up to four connected devices using the tri-mode wireless connectivity.
The 4600mAh battery provides approximately 90 hours of use. Keep in mind that actual battery life will vary depending on your RGB brightness settings and how frequently you use the wireless connection.
South-facing LEDs are positioned closer to the user, which prevents interference with Cherry profile keycaps. This ensures you get consistent, bright illumination across your keycaps without the keycap hitting the switch housing.
