Know before you buy
The Alice layout splits the keyboard into two angled halves, which encourages a more natural wrist position and reduces strain during long typing sessions. The 75% form factor keeps the keyboard compact while retaining essential navigation keys and a dedicated rotary knob.
Yes, the V10 features hot-swappable sockets, meaning you can replace the mechanical switches without any soldering. It is compatible with most 3-pin and 5-pin MX mechanical switches on the market.
The V10 supports QMK and VIA, which are open-source software tools that allow you to remap any key or program macros to the knob and dedicated keys. You can save your configurations directly to the keyboard's firmware, so your settings persist even when you switch computers.
Yes, the keyboard includes a physical toggle switch on the back to easily switch between macOS and Windows layouts. It also comes with specific keycaps for both operating systems to ensure the labels match your setup.
The fully assembled version comes ready to use out of the box with pre-installed switches and keycaps. The barebone kit does not include switches or keycaps, making it the better choice if you already have a specific set of switches or custom keycaps you prefer to use.
Yes, the internal dampening foam helps absorb hollow sounds and vibrations within the ABS plastic case. This results in a more solid, refined typing sound and a slightly softer feel compared to keyboards without internal padding.
