Know before you buy
The Tenkeyless layout removes the dedicated number pad, resulting in a more compact footprint. This provides more room for your mouse, which is particularly beneficial for gaming or smaller workspaces.
No, the PBT material is highly resistant to the shine that often develops on standard ABS keycaps after heavy use. The dye-sublimation process also ensures the intricate lunar designs remain crisp and won't fade or wear off.
The integrated silicone pad absorbs vibrations and reduces the hollow 'ping' sound often found in mechanical keyboards. It results in a more dampened, solid, and refined acoustic profile while typing.
Yes, the keyboard features a 2-step adjustable kickstand. This allows you to choose between three different typing angles to find the most comfortable position for your wrists.
The keyboard features white LED backlighting designed to highlight the lunar themes. While you can adjust the brightness levels, it does not support RGB color cycling or per-key color customization.
Yes, the bottom of the case includes a 3-way cord channel. This allows you to route the cable to the left, right, or center of the keyboard to keep your desk setup clean and organized.
