Product features
Equipped with the latest “OmniPoint3.0 switch” for more accurate and smooth key touch.
The design has been completely revised to eliminate the wobbling of the keys, and a newly developed OmniPoint 3.0 switch has been adopted. The sensor responds more accurately even to quick key touches.

Adopting a new stabilizer that improves key stability, we have dramatically improved the wobbling of large keys such as the space key and shift key, and improved the overall typing sound of the keys by reviewing the lubricant treatment of the stabilizer. Masu.
In addition, a new soundproofing design with three layers with different functions reduces unnecessary typing noise.
