Price when we saw it
$79.99$159.99seen at Keychron on 16 Aug 2026
This was a sale price when recorded. Check the current price and selected variant before ordering.
A 50% discount off list, steep enough that it is unlikely to be the price at launch, in either direction.
No retailer rating is included in this comparison.
What we can tell you
A 60% board in a CNC-machined aluminium case, which is the main thing separating it from the plastic-cased boards with the same layout. It is far heavier, and the weight is the point, because it does not slide. The recorded price was around half the list figure, a gap large enough to be worth checking before ordering. Hot-swap sockets and QMK/VIA are standard here as elsewhere in the line.
What the specifications favour
- Machined aluminium case with a double-gasket mount
- Hot-swap sockets, PBT keycaps and QMK/VIA
- Heavy enough to stay exactly where you put it
What to check before you buy
- A 60% layout with no function row and no arrows
- Too heavy to be a board you travel with
- The recorded price was a deep promotion against list
