Key Features

• Premium CNC Aluminum Body: Constructed from 6063 aluminum with a polished, anodized, and sandblasted finish for a solid, premium feel.
• Double-Gasket Design: Gasket mounting provides a flexible typing feel and satisfying sound, while silicone pads between the case sections help reduce metal resonance and vibration.

• Gateron Screw-In Stabilizers: Provides improved stability and smoother operation on larger keys while reducing unwanted rattle.
• South-Facing RGB: LEDs positioned toward the typist provide enhanced illumination and work particularly well with PBT, Cherry-profile, and non-shine-through keycaps.
• Sound-Absorbing Foam: Internal foam helps reduce vibration and improves the overall sound profile of the keyboard.
• Mac & Windows Compatible: Designed to work with both macOS and Windows, with the ability to save separate layouts for each operating system.
• QMK & VIA Support: Easily remap keys, create custom layouts, configure shortcuts, and customize backlight functions using QMK or VIA.
