Compact TKL Mechanical Keyboard

This tenkeyless mechanical keyboard uses linear red switches rated for 50 million keypresses and an OLED smart display for on-the-fly settings. The included Rival 3 mouse features a TrueMove Core optical sensor with 8500 CPI, 300 IPS and 35g acceleration. Both devices offer per-key RGB illumination across 16.8 million colours. The aluminium alloy frame and magnetic wrist rest provide stability and palm support.

USB Wired Connectivity and Software Dependence

The keyboard and mouse connect via USB and rely on SteelSeries Engine software for OLED customisation, lighting profiles and CPI adjustments. The OLED display shows information from supported applications such as Discord and Spotify. Without the software installed, advanced configuration and on-board profile storage are unavailable. The USB passthrough port on the keyboard requires a second USB connection for power.

Check USB Ports and Desk Space Before Buying

Verify that your system has two free USB Type-A ports for the keyboard passthrough and the mouse cable. The tenkeyless layout saves width but the fixed magnetic wrist rest adds depth, so measure the available desk area. Buyers who need a numeric keypad or wireless freedom should consider a different form factor. Ensure your operating system supports the configuration software for full functionality.
