Steven Zhang, based in Melbourne, Australia, has created an innovative Bluetooth mechanical keyboard designed to be the most functional and aesthetically pleasing option currently available. This keyboard combines a minimalistic design with high functionality, featuring NKRO (N-Key Rollover) over both USB and Bluetooth connections. This ensures that every key press is registered accurately, making it ideal for gamers and professionals alike.

The keyboard’s design is sleek and minimalistic, making it a perfect addition to any modern workspace. It features a 61-key standard US layout, which is compact yet functional, providing all the essential keys without taking up too much desk space.
