Know before you buy
Yes, the Miya Mac Moonlight is specifically designed for seamless macOS integration. It includes Mac-specific key legends and layout support, ensuring your function keys and shortcuts work as expected right out of the box.
No, this keyboard is not hot-swappable. The switches are plate-mounted and soldered to the PCB, so you should choose your preferred switch type—whether Cherry MX or Varmilo EC—at the time of purchase.
Cherry MX switches are the industry standard mechanical switches known for their reliability and distinct tactile or linear feel. Varmilo EC switches are electrostatic capacitive switches that offer a smoother, more consistent keystroke and improved durability compared to traditional mechanical designs.
The 65% form factor keeps the arrow keys and essential navigation keys while removing the number pad and the function row. You can still access F-keys and other missing inputs through a secondary function layer, which is standard for compact keyboards.
Yes, the keyboard uses high-quality PBT plastic with dye-sublimated legends. PBT is significantly more resistant to the shine and wear that typically develops on standard ABS keycaps over time, and the dye-sub process ensures the legends will not fade.
While the keyboard is optimized for macOS, it is fully compatible with Windows and Linux systems. It functions as a standard USB keyboard on these platforms, though you may need to adjust your OS settings to map specific media keys.
