An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard

A powerful ARM Cortex-M4 chip (MCU) equipped with 256K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz right out of the box on 2.4 GHz and wired modes (90 Hz on Bluetooth mode), which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.

Double-Gasket Design

The Double Gasket Design is a new innovative structure in the industry. In addition to the gaskets on the plates, we added silicone pads between the top and bottom cases to significantly reduce the acoustic resonance between the metals and reduce the noise of the impacted metals.

Came faulty

Four of the keys don't work properly and one doesn't work at all. Given the price one would assume top notch quality would be a given, especially when it takes almost 2 weeks to arrive.

Faulty on arrival

So far very disappointed. Device took 2 weeks to arrive as thought it’s a UK website the product is then shipped from China. Once it did arrive the pcb was faulty. After several emails back and forth I was told a replacement board would be sent out. I’m still waiting for confirmation….. not really ideal having spent a lot of money on a product to still not have a working device nearly a month later, and no indication when the issue will be resolved.

Mostly awesome

It’s a fantastic keyboard and the typing experience is awesome but there are some annoyances. The main one for me is the numpad enter key sticks when you press it. The other is there is no light indicating caps lock or numpad lock etc. overall still amazing.
