What's in the Box

  • Full 104 Key Mechanical Keyboard
  • USB-C to USB-C Braided Cable

First-Time Setup

  1. Connect USB-C cable to keyboard and computer
  2. Set the physical MAC/WIN switch to your operating system

Mac/Win Toggle

Use the physical MAC/WIN switch on the keyboard to select your operating system. MAC optimizes the F-row for macOS shortcuts and media controls. WIN optimizes for Windows. This determines how the F-row and FN layer behave.

frequently asked questions

Is this good for long nails?

Yes. The full size layout keeps all keys in their standard positions with no compact remapping to adjust to. Consistent key spacing and standard keycap height means predictable actuation angles across the board.

The keyboard isn't responding after plugging in — what do I check?

Make sure the mode switch is set to the OFF position for wired USB operation. If it's set to a wireless position, the keyboard won't communicate over the cable. Try a different USB port if the issue persists.

What's the factory reset procedure?

Hold FN + ESC for 3 seconds. All settings including custom backlight layouts will reset to defaults.

Is there a numpad?

Yes. Standard numpad is included on the right side — no workarounds needed for data entry or number-heavy workflows.

Will this work with Figma/Adobe/Sketch shortcuts?

Yes. All modifier keys present. Full F-row dedicated on Windows; accessible via FN on Mac. Custom shortcuts work identically to any standard full-size keyboard.

What does the volume knob control?

Volume by default — turn to adjust, press to open the LCD menu. From the LCD menu, you can also control backlight modes, brightness, and speed directly through the knob.

What does the LCD screen display?

The LCD shows a clock or animated GIF by default. Press the volume knob to open the menu, where you can control backlight effects, set the time, switch display language, and toggle 12H/24H format. The menu auto-closes after 1 minute of inactivity.

Can I set custom per-key colours?

Yes. Press FN + BACKSPACE to enter DIY mode, press again to start recording, then press each key to assign your chosen colour. Press FN + BACKSPACE a final time to save. The layout is stored on the keyboard — no software required.

What are the 16 backlight modes?

Press FN + INS to cycle through all 16 built-in lighting patterns. Each mode supports independent brightness (6 levels) and animation speed (6 levels) adjustment. Colour switching via FN + DEL is available on select modes.

Do I need FN to access F-keys on Mac?

In MAC mode, the F-row defaults to macOS system controls (brightness, media, Siri, etc.). To use F1-F12 as standard function keys on Mac, hold FN while pressing the F-key. In WIN mode, F-keys work as standard function keys by default, and FN combinations activate the media/system functions.

Will this work with both Mac and Windows?

Yes. Use the physical MAC/WIN switch on the keyboard to select your operating system. In MAC mode, the F-row directly controls brightness, media, and system functions. In WIN mode, those functions are accessed via FN + F-row combinations.
