Specifications
- Layout: 99 keys
- Switch actuation force: 50±10 gf
- Switch travel: 4.0±0.5 mm
- Switch lifespan: 50 million+ presses
- Battery capacity: 8000 mAh

Custom switches offer 50±10 gf actuation force, 4.0±0.5 mm travel, and a 50 million+ press lifespan. The switches are hot-swappable, allowing users to change them without soldering.
The keyboard connects via USB-C, 2.4G wireless, or Bluetooth, and is compatible with Windows and Mac. An 8000 mAh battery powers the wireless modes.
Pricing is set at 299 CNY (about $44.15) in China, where it is available now. The combination of tri-mode connectivity, hot-swap switches, and a large battery at this price point makes it a notable option for budget buyers.
