This allows for a beautiful sound profile right out of the box with the ability to perfectly tailor it to your typing preference. We're not kidding, this thing sounds absolutely amazing.- Interchangeable 'Keyframe' with only 4 screws that serves as an accent piece for tons of color combinations and different layouts.
- Endless customization with our in-house Cerakote offerings
- RGB Underglow
- Hidden Case Screws
- Hidden Daughterboard routing channel
- Hefty weight for a premium feel
Endless possibilities. Infinite value.
With a three dimensional "Keyframe", the possibilities are virtually endless. Between exchanging the 'Keyframe' for different layouts, different material options, as well as in-house Cerakote colors; there is no limit to the level of personalization.
