Key features include a 7.0° typing angle, a front height of 17mm, and a unique mounting style using silicon pins with four hardness options. The keyboard is equipped with a customizable PCB that supports USB-C, QMK/VIA compatibility, and both hotswap and solder options.

The design features a variety of materials, including anodized aluminum, full copper, and brass for the top and bottom cases, with a nano-coating finish available in some options.
