Our Take

A tenkeyless mechanical keyboard aimed at people who want proper customisation without building their own board. It pairs QMK/VIA remapping with hot-swappable Gateron G Pro Brown switches, so you can tweak layouts or swap switches later. Works over Bluetooth or USB-C wired across Mac, Windows and Linux, sitting in the mid-range enthusiast bracket rather than budget or premium territory.

Key Features

Gateron G Pro Brown switches: tactile, non-clicky, and hot-swappable if you fancy trying different switches later

QMK/VIA support for full key remapping and macro programming via software, no firmware flashing knowledge required

ISO UK layout with correctly sized Enter key and UK-specific symbol placement

White single-colour backlighting with adjustable brightness, rather than full RGB

Bluetooth 5.1 wireless connection to up to three devices, plus wired USB-C mode

Double-shot PBT keycaps, which resist shine and keep legends from wearing off over time

Our Verdict

Worth buying if you want a keyboard you can genuinely customise, both in software and hardware, without stepping into full custom-build territory. Skip it if you need a numpad, want RGB lighting, or you're after the slimmest possible wireless keyboard for a minimalist desk setup.

What We Like

  • Genuine hot-swap sockets and VIA support make this a proper tinkerer's keyboard, not just a marketing label
  • PBT keycaps feel more durable and less greasy over time than the ABS keycaps found on cheaper boards
  • Flexible connectivity covers both wireless convenience and lag-free wired use
  • Brown switches offer a reasonable middle ground for typing and light gaming without excessive noise

Things to Consider

  • No numpad, which won't suit anyone doing regular data entry
  • Single-colour backlighting will disappoint buyers expecting RGB at this price point
  • No dedicated volume knob or extra media controls beyond function-layer shortcuts
  • Bulkier and heavier than slimline office keyboards, so not ideal for cramped desks
