Know before you buy

You can pair the keyboard with up to three different devices simultaneously via Bluetooth. You can easily switch between them using designated shortcuts, which is ideal for users who toggle between a desktop, laptop, and tablet.
No, this model is not hot-swappable. The Cherry MX switches are plate-mounted and soldered to the PCB, so you should choose your preferred switch type—such as Red, Blue, Brown, or Silent Red—at the time of purchase.
When connected via USB-C, the keyboard supports N-Key Rollover (NKRO), allowing for unlimited simultaneous key presses. In wireless Bluetooth mode, it supports 6-key rollover, which is sufficient for standard typing and most gaming scenarios.

Yes, the keycaps are made from high-quality PBT plastic using a dye-sublimation printing process. This combination ensures the keys are resistant to the shine that often develops on cheaper ABS plastic over time, maintaining a premium texture and appearance.
