The typing experience is fantastic, not heavy at all, and the yellow color is just gorgeous.

I bought two, and I especially love this layout. This 96 Ultra meets all my requirements: volume knob, metal frame, wired and wireless dual 8K, pure sound

My previous blue switch keyboard lasted for ten years. This one doesn't have a tactile bump, but the sound is fuller and more refined. A small keyboard is essential for office work, so I wanted to get myself a new one.

WHY WE CHOSE IT

Absolute Materiality

While typical high-end keyboards settle for aluminum accents or composite trim, this chassis commits to absolute material purity. Both the upper and lower case modules are fully CNC-machined from solid aluminum blocks, yielding a dense, 1460-gram structural frame completely devoid of plastic elements.

The inclusion of an MCL floating mount system provides the structural foundation for the board's acoustics. By entirely eliminating the internal air cavities between the core plate assembly and the outer enclosure, the comprehensive 7-layer dampening stack dampens vibrations without acoustic interference. This specialized architecture delivers a permanent sound signature that remains uniform regardless of room temperature, desk surfaces, or heavy typing cadences achieving a level of acoustic stability that conventional gasket configurations cannot sustain.

The Sahara colorway pairs a warm, sand-anodized metal housing with low-saturation yellow accent keycaps. A full aluminum 96% layout executed in such a deliberate, architectural color palette is an exceptional rarity in the market.

Positioned discretely on the rear panel is an unadvertised dot-matrix display, a subtle, hidden integration left entirely for the owner to uncover.
