Compact 96% Layout

The FOCUSTEC Gaming Keyboard uses a 96% form factor that keeps the numpad while saving desk space. It ships with double-shot keycaps and factory-lubed Fox linear mechanical switches for a smooth, consistent keystroke. A hot-swappable PCB lets you replace switches without soldering, and the removable USB-C cable simplifies cable management or replacement.

For Customisers, Not Minimalists

This board suits enthusiasts who want to tune switches, stabilisers and keycaps on a full-size layout. Buyers who prefer a fixed, non-modular keyboard or a smaller 65% or 75% footprint should look elsewhere. The wired USB-C connection also means it is not aimed at users who require wireless freedom.

Ready for Work and Play

The 96% layout comfortably handles data entry, programming and gaming sessions that rely on the numpad and navigation cluster. Hot-swap sockets accept any 5-pin Cherry MX-style switch so you can adjust actuation feel over time. Without wireless or multi-device pairing, the keyboard runs out of flexibility for users who switch between several machines.

Questions about this item

What type of USB-C cable do I need to connect the keyboard to my PC?

Any standard USB-C cable works; the supplied cord is removable and can be replaced with another USB-C cable of your choice.

Can I keep my existing 5-pin mechanical switches and install them on this board?

Yes, the hot-swappable PCB accepts any 5-pin switches, so you can plug in your current switches without soldering.

How do I verify the per-key RGB lighting is functioning after I plug the keyboard in?

The backlighting activates immediately on connection; each key should illuminate, and you can cycle brightness or effects with the onboard shortcuts.
