Know your gear
- Magnetic (Hall Effect) switches — Instead of a metal contact, a magnet and sensor measure exactly how far each key is pressed. That enables adjustable actuation and Rapid Trigger, and there is no contact to wear out.
- Adjustable actuation — You choose where each key activates: as shallow as ~0.1 mm for instant response in games, or deeper (2–3 mm) to avoid accidental presses while typing.
- Rapid Trigger — The key resets the instant you start lifting your finger — not at a fixed point. In FPS games this makes strafing and counter-strafing noticeably faster.
- Polling & scan rate — Polling is how often the keyboard talks to your PC (8K = every 0.125 ms); scan rate is how often it checks every key. Higher numbers mean lower input delay.
- Hot-swappable — Switches can be pulled out and replaced without soldering, so you can try new switches or replace one in seconds.
- 65% layout — Compact like a 60% but keeps the arrow keys — a favourite for gaming setups.
- Aluminium case — A solid metal case adds weight and rigidity — the keyboard never slides or flexes, and typing sounds cleaner.
