Compact TKL Mechanical Keyboard

This tenkeyless mechanical keyboard uses clicky blue switches rated for 50 million keypresses. An integrated OLED smart display gives on-the-fly access to game data, Spotify and Discord without leaving the desktop. An aircraft-grade aluminium alloy frame provides a rigid platform for long-term use. Per-key RGB illumination offers 16.8 million colour options.

Blue Clicky Switch Feel

The blue tactile and clicky switches deliver an audible snap and distinct tactile bump on every actuation so you feel and hear exactly when a key registers. This switch character suits typists and gamers who want clear feedback. Buyers who prefer silent or linear actuation will not find that profile here.

Build Integration

A premium magnetic wrist rest attaches securely for full palm support during extended sessions. Dedicated media controls and a USB passthrough port keep volume, playback and an extra device within reach without extra cables. The compact TKL layout frees desk space for mouse movement while retaining full function row access. Software-free customisation via the OLED display lets you save settings directly on the keyboard.
