Montech finally launched the first keyboard in its MKey line after two years of meticulous planning and design. The MKey line aims to create keyboards that offer a premium typing experience while also delivering a captivating story for the product itself. These keyboards are not only functionally superior, but they also bring joy to the user, making typing a wondrous adventure.
Inspired by the iconic Osaka Castle in Japan, the MKey keyboard boasts a magnificent design that captures the essence of the castle. The MKey comes with two sets of custom keycaps that are themed around the Osaka Castle, the Osakajo Blue Skies, and Osakajo Dark. The MKey also offers the flexibility of using Cherry-compatible keycaps, giving users complete freedom over customisation options.
The MKey features the five-sided dye-sublimation keycap technique that ensures vivid and durable icon designs on every key. This technique guarantees that the design will not fade or wear off easily, providing a long-lasting and high-quality finish to each keycap. Even the most discerning of users will be impressed by the level of attention to detail and quality of the keycaps.
The MKey keyboard boasts a wide range of impressive features. In addition to offering all twelve F-keys, it also includes a convenient Windows Key Lock function, N-key rollover, and a macro recording feature. These features can be easily accessed either directly through the keyboard or through Montech’s MKey software. Moreover, the F12 key has an alternate “Boss Key!” function that acts as a direct shortcut to the desktop, providing an extra layer of convenience for users.
Enjoy a total of 18 RGB lighting modes, with RGB LEDs located beneath every key, controllable by both keyboard and software. The MKey uses south-facing LED switches, allowing users to switch to different shaped and styled Cherry-compatible keycaps without any limitations, giving users the freedom to customise their keyboard’s appearance to their heart’s content while ensuring a seamless lighting experience.
The Rotary Knob has three main modes: zoom in and out, volume adjustment, and RGB mode switching. Users can easily cycle through these modes by pressing down on the knob, which features a Patent Pending bottom lighting ring that shows the current mode. The Rotary Knob provides quick access to essential functions without the need for additional software or keystrokes.
