Full-size 104-key layout

The GE R104 is a full-size wired mechanical keyboard with 104 keys including a dedicated number pad. It uses a gasket mount structure with multiple internal dampening layers to cushion keystrokes and reduce vibration. Violet linear switches provide smooth, consistent travel without tactile bumps. Double-shot PBT keycaps offer a textured feel and fade-resistant legends.

Gasket mount and linear switches

The gasket mount design absorbs impact during sustained typing or gaming sessions, delivering a softer bottom-out feel and cleaner acoustics over time. Violet linear switches maintain consistent actuation force without clicky feedback, helping reduce finger fatigue during long work or play periods. Multiple dampening layers further suppress resonance for a quieter experience.

USB-C wired connection and OS switch

This keyboard connects via a detachable USB-C cable and draws power directly from the host, so no batteries or charging are required. A dedicated Windows and macOS selector switch toggles layouts instantly without software. The 3-pin sleeve-style PCB only accepts compatible 3-pin mechanical switches if you plan to swap them later. Verify your system has an available USB port and supports standard HID keyboard input.

Questions about this item

How much noise and heat does the gasket-mounted R104 with Violet Quiet Linear Switches produce during all-day use?

The gasket mount and multiple dampening layers cushion each keystroke for a softer, quieter sound profile. Violet Quiet Linear Switches are designed for reduced noise in shared spaces. As a corded USB keyboard, it draws minimal power and generates no noticeable heat.

What must I already own to use the R104's USB-C wired connection and Win/Mac selector?

You need a free USB-C port or a USB-C to USB-A adapter on a PC running Windows or macOS. The dedicated hardware switch toggles layouts instantly without any software installation or driver downloads required.

Will the 3-pin sleeve-style PCB on the R104 accept the 5-pin switches from my older custom board?

No. The R104 uses a 3-pin sleeve-style PCB designed exclusively for 3-pin sleeve mechanical switches. Standard 5-pin plate-mount switches are not compatible with this keyboard's hot-swap sockets.
