Frequently asked questions
Does this work with both Mac and Windows?
Yes. A physical OS toggle on the top edge switches the layout between Mac and Windows, and the box ships with extra keycaps for both Command/Option and Win/Alt.
Can I change the switches later?
Yes, the PCB has hot-swappable sockets that fit both 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style mechanical switches. No soldering needed.
Is the wireless connection good enough for gaming?
The 2.4 GHz wireless mode runs at a 1000 Hz polling rate, which is the same effective latency as a wired connection for the vast majority of competitive and casual play. Bluetooth mode is lower priority and meant for multi-device productivity, not competitive gaming.
What is QMK and VIA, and do I need to know how to code?
QMK is the open-source firmware running on the keyboard. VIA is a browser-based GUI that lets you remap any key, build macros, and tune RGB without touching code. You only need code if you want to push deeper firmware-level changes.
