Is this keyboard compatible with macOS and Windows?

Fully compatible. There is a system toggle switch. We include replacement keycaps for both Windows and Mac to ensure your visual layout matches your OS perfectly.

What is a CNC Aluminum case?

Precision-milled from a solid aluminum block. It offers superior weight, stability, and a premium metallic aesthetic compared to plastic.

What does "Double-shot" mean?

The legends are molded using a second layer of plastic rather than printed. This guarantees the legends will never wear off or fade.

Can I use standard mechanical switches?

No. The PCB is designed for Hall Effect sensors and lacks pin sockets. They are only hot-swappable with other compatible magnetic switches.

What is the response latency of magnetic switches?

Our magnetic keyboards feature ultra-low latency down to 0.125ms (1000Hz-8000Hz). They eliminate "Debounce Delay" for true instant actuation.

What are the differences between 60%, 75%, and TKL layouts?

Full-size has all keys. TKL (80%) omits the numpad. 75% is compact but keeps the F-row and arrows. 60% is ultra-compact, removing the F-row and arrows. Piifox offers various layouts to fit your desk space.

What is a magnetic switch?

Magnetic switches utilize the Hall Effect, actuating by sensing changes in magnetic flux. With no physical contact, they offer long lifespan and lightning-fast response.

8KHz Polling 0.02ms Latency

Wired Architecture, Instant Response

Wireless protocols can't deliver full NKRO 8KHz transmission under real conditions. With wired-only USB-C, the RY5088 MCU polls at 8KHz for 0.02ms end-to-end latency—8× the data rate of standard 1KHz keyboards. Input-to-display sync is preserved on 240Hz+ monitors.

Five-Layer Sound Dampening

Poron Pad + Carbon Fiber Plate

The Poron switch pad absorbs bottom-out energy, reducing PCB flex that could interfere with magnetic sensor readings. Carbon fiber plate delivers aluminum-grade stiffness at half the weight. Five-layer system eliminates chassis resonance for clean, consistent key sounds.

Gaming Feature Matrix

SOCD-Lite / DKS / Mod-Tap / Toggle Key

2+1 profile structure isolates each game scenario into independent layers. 50 onboard macros handle skill sequences. Once written to hardware, the configuration travels to any PC without driver install or cloud login—zero configuration latency at LAN events.
