Top Mount

A combination of classic and innovation

The Top Mount structure has always been the most reliable and stable solution and has stood the test of time. However, we have innovated on this basis and designed a new positioning plate fixing solution.

This design not only inherits the traditional advantages, but also adds innovative elements. We believe that this balance and breakthrough is the improvement that many enthusiasts have been looking forward to for a long time.

Silicone gasket

a balance between comfort and precision

We designed and reconstructed the silicone particles to have the dual functions of cushioning and limiting. After testing a variety of samples with different hardness, we finally selected a silicone material with excellent performance.

This design achieves a perfect balance between hardness and the clearest typing feedback, ensuring that users will not feel fatigued when typing for a long time, bringing a more comfortable typing experience.
