Detailed features

Design

Keyboard layout simplified from the 65% layout, developed with the goal to maintain the fundamental user habit of 65% while maintaining a symmetrical layout.
Real glass touch panel on the front to provide four-way arrow keys with swipe and hold, replacing traditional arrow keys.
Blocker RGB lighting powered by 4 independent LEDs available Donut and Blue Velocity colorways. The hardware, which is powered by its own individual PCB, is included with Snow Peak as well (can be enabled by replacing the front cover).
10-degree typing angle and 20mm front height for comfortable use without a wrist rest.

Craftsmanship

The keyboard case is CNC-machined from 6063 aluminum alloy.
Hotswap PCB allows users to change switches at will.
In-switch RGB support (can be customized using AM Master).
Upgraded internals for a better sounding keyboard. The PET film with cutouts allows for an improved typing feel and sound profile
FR4 plate with cutouts for a more elastic typing feel (POM plate optional).
Poron foam is placed at the bottom to minimize vibration and hollow sound.

2-Stage Adjustable Leaf Spring Mount (8 combos total)

Inspired by coilover suspension seen on modified cars, the adjustable leaf spring mount allows users to modify keyboard flex with a total 8 different typing combos.
Two different types of leaf springs are provided: Phosphorus copper (for a softer typing feel) and stainless steel (for a harder typing feel). The leaf springs provide 2 stages of hardness adjustments. To provide three different types of feel, additional PORON pads with different thicknesses are provided with the keyboard.
Aside from adjusting the 2 leaf spring gears from soft to hard, rebound stiffness can be adjusted by switching between the two different leaf-spring materials: phosphorus copper and stainless steel. In addition, conventional adjustment solutions, such as an adjustment pads, PCB pad and an additional bottom pad, are also provided for mixing and matching. The firmest typing feel can be achieved through adding all the pads. Removing all the pads results in the softest feel and touch.

Connectivity

Tri-mode ready: low latency 2.4G hardware support built-in, 2.4G wireless can be used in combination with the AM Sniper2.4 dongle.
Bluetooth and USB-C wired connectivity are available out of the box and support seamless automatic switching.
Wireless charging using the Qi protocol. Works great in combination with CYBERMAT.
