Key Features & Highlights

Compact Yet Functional 94-Key Layout

The K500’s layout is roughly 20% smaller than a standard 104-key board, preserving essential keys including a dedicated numeric area, arrow keys, and media functions — all while saving valuable desk space.

Hot-Swappable 3-Pin Switch Support

No soldering required. The keyboard supports hot-swappable 3-pin mechanical switches, so users can replace or upgrade switches (Cherry, TTC, Outemu, Huano, etc.) based on their preferences. This feature gives you total control over the typing feel and sound.

High-Quality Double-Shot PBT Keycaps

The keycaps are made from durable double-shot PBT plastic. They resist shine, wear, and fading, while allowing RGB lighting to shine through clearly. This makes for a long-lasting and vibrant typing experience.

Vibrant RGB Illumination & Multiple Modes

Choose from a full spectrum of 16.8 million colors and over 20 lighting effects. From soft ambient glows to reactive typing animations, the RGB lighting system brings personality and energy to your setup.

Reliable Wired Connection with USB-C

Equipped with a detachable USB-C cable, the K500 ensures stable data transmission and low latency for gaming and fast-paced typing. The reversible USB-C connector also makes plugging in more convenient.

Performance & Gaming Features

The K500 supports full N-Key Rollover (NKRO) and anti-ghosting technology, ensuring every keystroke is accurately registered — even during complex key combinations. Perfect for competitive gaming or rapid workflow efficiency.

Build & Design

The keyboard features a clean, matte finish and a sturdy plastic frame that feels solid and stable on the desk. Some models include internal sound-dampening foam for quieter operation and a more premium typing experience. Smooth edges and subtle branding complete the modern, minimalistic look.
