Know before you buy
The 97-key layout is a compact form factor that retains a full numeric keypad while reducing the overall footprint of the keyboard. It offers the functionality of a full-sized board while leaving more room for your mouse movements.
Optical-mechanical switches use light-based actuation, which typically results in a faster, more consistent response time than traditional mechanical switches. They are designed for durability, boasting a lifespan of up to 100 million keystrokes.
The silicone-gasket mount, paired with internal dampening foam, provides a softer, more cushioned typing feel. This setup also helps absorb vibrations and reduces unwanted noise, resulting in a more refined acoustic profile.
Yes, the IP57 rating means the keyboard is protected against dust and can withstand temporary immersion in water. While it is highly durable, you should still avoid intentional submersion or exposing it to liquids unnecessarily.
Yes, the keyboard is fully compatible with ASUS Aura Sync. This allows you to synchronize the per-key RGB lighting with your other Aura-enabled devices for a cohesive look across your entire setup.
The detachable top plate is designed for easy cleaning and aesthetic customization. It allows you to modify the look of your keyboard or access the internal components more easily for maintenance.
