Know before you buy
TKL stands for Tenkeyless, meaning the keyboard lacks the dedicated number pad on the right side. This compact design saves significant desk space and allows for a more ergonomic mouse position, making it ideal for gaming or minimalist workspaces.
The EC Daisy V2 switches are light, linear switches designed for a smooth and consistent keystroke. Because they use contactless electrostatic capacitive technology, they offer a more refined, durable feel than traditional mechanical switches.
No, the keycaps are made from high-quality PBT plastic with dye-sublimated legends. This material is highly resistant to the shine that develops on cheaper ABS plastic, and the dye-sublimation process ensures the characters will not wear off.
The aluminum frame provides a rigid, heavy base that prevents the keyboard from sliding or flexing during intense typing sessions. This added weight contributes to a more stable, premium sound and feel compared to plastic-cased keyboards.
Yes, the white LED backlighting is adjustable, allowing you to dim or brighten the illumination to suit your environment. It is designed to provide subtle, clean visibility rather than an overwhelming light show.
