A 75% wireless custom mechanical keyboard with 8,000Hz polling in wireless mode, hot-swappable Apex switches, and up to 760 hours of battery life on ZMK firmware.
AI score breakdown
scored as keyboardsIts biggest strength is the feature set for the price: true 8K polling over both wired and 2.4GHz wireless, hot-swap sockets, ZMK firmware, and tri-mode connectivity at $119.99 undercut most rivals with similar specs. Its biggest weakness is the typing experience, where reviewers noted the stock switches' actuation point sat too deep (causing occasional missed keystrokes) and the case pairs an aluminum top frame with a cheaper ABS bottom shell.
