Frequently asked questions

Is it office-friendly?

Probably not: the noise evidence calls it too loud for conservative setups, and the board is heavy enough that one reviewer calls it very hefty. This is a stay-on-your-desk gaming keyboard, not a quiet commuter.

What is the wobbly USB-C port about?

One reviewer reports constant disconnects with a wobbly USB-C port - and that NuPhy support called the wobble most likely intended. It is a single report in a small evidence pool, but it is the exact thing to test during your return window.

How deep is the evidence on this board?

Thinner than most keyboards we cover: eleven qualified sources, mostly YouTube. What is there is consistent - 8,000 Hz polling with SOCD support, smooth keypresses, sturdy build, and a design reviewers either love or find too much. Treat the scores as early rather than settled.
