Know before you buy
Yes, the K3 features full-key hot-swappable sockets. This means you can easily install most standard 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches without needing to solder.
The keypad is compatible with QMK software. You can use this open-source firmware to remap any key, create macros, or set up custom layers to suit your specific workflow.
No, the Darmoshark K3 is a wired device that connects via a USB Type-C cable. This ensures a stable, latency-free connection for both gaming and professional data entry.
Yes, the keypad comes with dual-tone injection-molded PBT keycaps. PBT is a high-quality plastic that resists shine and wear much better than standard ABS keycaps, ensuring they maintain their texture over time.
While QMK allows for deep customization, the K3 also supports onboard lighting controls. You can toggle through various dynamic effects and colors directly using key combinations on the device.
Absolutely. Because it connects as a separate USB device, it functions independently of your main keyboard, making it an ideal companion for compact setups that lack a dedicated number pad.
