Frequently Asked Questions
What switches does it come with?
The default is Gateron Jupiter Brown (tactile). Since it's hot-swappable, you can replace them with any MX-compatible switches.
Does it work with Mac?
Yes, natively. It includes both Windows and Mac keycap sets, and QMK supports all operating systems.
What is gasket mount?
A mounting style where the PCB sits on silicone gaskets rather than screwing directly to the case. This produces a softer, more pleasant typing feel and sound.
