A mechanical keyboard that doesn't dominate your desk. This ultra-thin low-profile mechanical keyboard pairs a full-size 104-key layout with short-travel mechanical switches, a backlit key deck and a detachable cable — so you get the feel of a proper mechanical board in a body barely thicker than a laptop keyboard.

Why it's worth the upgrade

  • Low-profile mechanical switches — real mechanical actuation with a much shorter key travel than a standard board, so your fingers move less and your hands sit lower and flatter.
  • Quiet tactile feel — tactile switches give you a clear bump at the actuation point without the sharp click of a blue switch, which makes them workable in a shared office or on calls.
  • Full-size 104-key layout — a complete number pad, function row and navigation cluster, so you don't lose keys to save space.
  • Backlit keys — a clean white backlight on the aluminium models, or full rainbow lighting on the CX32, for working after dark.
  • Aluminium alloy top plate — on the CX30 and CX40, a rigid metal deck that kills flex and gives the board a solid, dead typing feel.
  • Detachable cable — the cable unplugs completely, so the keyboard packs flat in a bag and you can swap the cable if it ever fails.
  • Fold-out tilt feet — flip them down for a 9° typing angle, or leave them closed for a flat, low-wrist position.

Office by day, games by night

The short travel and light actuation suit long typing sessions and spreadsheets, while the mechanical switches give you the fast, consistent response you want in games. One board covers both, without the bulk and noise of a traditional gaming keyboard.

Frequently asked questions

Is a low-profile mechanical keyboard actually mechanical?

Yes. Each key sits on its own mechanical switch, exactly like a full-height board — the switch housing and keycap are simply shorter, which reduces the travel distance and the overall height of the keyboard.

Are these switches quiet enough for an office?

They are tactile rather than clicky, so you feel a bump when the key actuates but there is no sharp click mechanism. They are noticeably quieter than a clicky mechanical board, though still more audible than a membrane keyboard.

Does it work with a Mac?

The layout is Windows-standard. It will connect and type on macOS, but the modifier keys sit in the Windows positions, so you may want to remap Command and Option in macOS keyboard settings.

Which model should I pick if I want wireless?

The CX40. It has a rechargeable battery and Bluetooth dual-mode, so you can run it wirelessly or plug in when the battery is low. The CX30 and CX32 are wired only.

Can I use my own cable?

Yes. The cable detaches completely from the keyboard, so it packs flat and can be replaced with any compatible cable.

Is the number pad included?

Yes. This is a full-size 104-key board with a complete number pad, arrow cluster and function row.
