Mechanical switches deliver consistent key travel and responsiveness for gaming and extended typing sessions. The keyboard's compact form factor maintains standard key placement for familiar ergonomics while enabling easier transport and setup changes.

Key specifications

• Layout: Tenkeyless (TKL) compact layout without numeric keypad
• Switch sockets: Hot-swap mechanical switch sockets for easy replacement
• Key type: Mechanical switches (user-replaceable)

How to use

Connect the keyboard to a compatible computer using the provided cable or supported connection method. Use the standard layout for gaming and typing as you would with a full-size keyboard, while enjoying more mouse freedom thanks to the tenkeyless design. To change switches, power off the computer, remove the keycap with a keycap puller, and gently pull the switch from its hot-swap socket using a switch puller. Insert the new switch straight into the socket until it seats firmly, replace the keycap, and reconnect the keyboard.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, choose switch types that match your preferred tactile response and actuation force. When replacing switches, handle components gently and ensure the keyboard is disconnected from power to avoid damage. If you use custom keycaps, verify compatibility with the TKL layout and switch stem type.
