These keycaps feature a unique, slightly rounded shape that contours to your fingertips. This design is intended to provide a more ergonomic and comfortable surface for long typing sessions.
Yes, the keyboard is compatible with Windows, MacOS, and Android. You can switch between these operating systems, though note that the physical key legends are optimized for a standard layout.
