Key specs at a glance

Fast, precise optical-mechanical switches

The keyboard uses opto-mechanical switches that register keystrokes using light instead of physical contact. This reduces debounce delay and delivers faster actuation, making it ideal for competitive gaming where milliseconds matter. The 1000 Hz polling rate ensures your inputs are tracked with minimal latency.

Compact 96% layout with full functionality

With 97 keys in a 96% form factor, the layout keeps essential keys while saving desk space. The inclusion of a numeric keypad and full Windows key support means you don’t sacrifice productivity features for a smaller footprint. This makes it equally suited for gaming and everyday use.

Durable design for long-term use

Built to withstand spills and dust, the IP57 rating means the keyboard can handle accidental splashes and debris without damage. The silicone-gasket mount and dampening foam reduce key wobble and typing noise, while the detachable top plate allows for easier cleaning or maintenance.

Aura Sync-ready RGB lighting

Customise your lighting with per-key RGB control that syncs with other Aura Sync-compatible devices. Whether you’re matching your setup to Hatsune Miku’s blue-green and pink theme or creating your own look, the vivid backlighting adds both style and visibility in low-light environments.
