87 keys

Complete Soundproofing Solution: Gasket Mount & PE Foam
A gasket mount is a design feature in mechanical keyboards that reduces vibrations and noise by separating the PCB and the plate with silicone. The cushioned silicone barrier absorbs sound and vibrations, providing a more comfortable and tactile typing experience that reduces fatigue and improves accuracy. The gasket mount also helps drastically reduce keyboard noise, making it ideal for you and the people around you. Apart from the Gasket mount design, an additional layer of PE Foam is also provided for further insulation.

Hot-Swappable
Hot-Swap technology allows the user to replace the switches without disassembling the keyboard. There's no need for a desoldering iron anymore. Having easily replaceable switches doesn't only increase its maintainability but also offers the user the ability to fully customize the keyboard.

16.8 million RGB colors
Bright RGB backlight with a wide range of fully customizable effects. A separate diode under each key provides a directional light beam, the intensity, and brightness can be regulated by the Dark Project software. You can also change the RGB backlight settings by pressing the pre-set key shortcuts that are listed in your manual.

Greased stabilizers
During the keyboard's assembly process on the conveyor system, the stabilizers are greased, by hand. Greased stabilizers provide a smooth, pleasant feeling when pressed.  Not only are they tactilely pleasant but also produce a pleasant sound, thanks to the grease.
