Know before you buy
The Cherry MX Brown switches are tactile. They provide a subtle physical bump when pressed, which offers feedback without the loud clicking sound found in blue-style switches.
No, this keyboard is not hot-swappable. The switches are soldered to the PCB, so you cannot change them without desoldering and soldering new ones.
No, the legends and designs are created using a dye-sublimation process. This infuses the ink into the PBT plastic, making the print extremely durable and resistant to fading even with heavy daily use.
Yes, it is fully compatible with Mac, as well as Windows and Linux. Note that because it is a standard layout, you may need to adjust your system settings to map specific Mac-exclusive keys if you prefer a native Apple layout.
While it does not have separate, dedicated buttons for media, it features integrated multimedia controls within the F-row. You can access these functions using a combination of the Function (Fn) key and the corresponding F-keys.
