Know before you buy
No, this is a barebones mechanical keyboard kit. You will need to purchase your own mechanical switches and keycaps separately to complete the build.
Yes, the HJS AL65 is compatible with both operating systems. You can easily toggle between modes to ensure your function keys and modifiers work correctly on your specific device.
The gasket mount design provides a softer, more flexible typing experience compared to traditional tray-mount keyboards. It helps dampen the impact of each keystroke, resulting in a more consistent and pleasant sound profile.
Yes, the hot-swappable PCB supports both 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches. This allows you to install most standard MX-style switches without needing to solder.
South-facing RGB LEDs are positioned toward the front of the switch, which prevents interference with Cherry profile keycaps. This ensures you can use a wider variety of keycap sets without encountering compatibility issues.
The 4000mAh battery is designed to last for several days of typical use, though actual battery life will vary based on your RGB brightness settings and connection mode. Using the keyboard in wired mode will bypass the battery entirely.
