Know before you buy
The EC mechanism uses a rubber dome combined with a coil spring to register keystrokes without physical contact between metal leaves. This results in a smoother, quieter typing experience that is often described as more tactile and refined than traditional mechanical switches.
Yes. The X99 allows you to increase the actuation force by installing the included 10g springs. This adds extra resistance to the keys, providing a firmer, more tactile feel for those who prefer a heavier touch.
No, the keyboard comes with high-quality, two-color PBT keycaps. PBT material is significantly more resistant to the oils and wear that typically cause standard ABS keycaps to develop an unsightly shine.
Yes, the keyboard is fully programmable and supports macro creation. You can remap keys and assign complex commands to suit your specific productivity or gaming needs.
The X99 is designed for stability with high-damping anti-skid pads on the base. These pads prevent the keyboard from sliding, even during rapid or forceful typing.
Yes, it features a two-stage support leg structure. This allows you to choose between three different heights—flat or two elevated angles—to find the most comfortable position for your wrists.
