G3MS Sapphire Switches

Crafted by the skilled engineers at Blackrock Foundry, G3MS Switches embody years of expertise, constantly pushing the boundaries of switch innovation.

The Sapphire Switches are designed with a minimized contact area between the stem and housing, drastically reducing friction for an ultra-smooth keystroke. Their advanced design also eliminates spring ping and unwanted noise, ensuring a quiet, precise typing experience.

Pre-lubed with a long spring and short travel distance, these switches are built for competitive gaming right out of the box.

Actuation force - 45 g Actuation Point – 1.8mm Durability - 50 Million Keystrokes

ABS keycaps and Double-Shot technology

The keycaps are crafted from ABS, the most popular material for mechanical keyboards. Furthermore, they are crafted using Double-Shot molding technology. Each keycap—except for the Space, Enter, and Esc keys—is made from ABS plastic. This process involves merging two plastic molds under high temperatures. Thanks to this method, the RGB backlight is illuminated through the keycaps brightly and clearly while also ensuring that the sharp letters will never fade away even after a decade of intense use.

Effortless backlight control - Software and Hotkeys

This Keyboard features a full RGB backlight with a wide range of customizable effects. In addition, the user can choose from an array of 16.7 million colors to set the perfect ambiance. Our Cloud-Based software allows you to customize your keyboard on the go. On any computer, on any operating system. Gasket Mount Design Taking comfort and acoustics to the next level, the ALU87 Violet features a gasket-mounted design. This innovative mounting system provides a cushioned typing experience by isolating the plate from direct contact with the case, reducing vibrations and delivering a softer, more premium feel. The gasket mount also enhances sound dampening, creating a satisfying, refined typing sound that's perfect for gaming and productivity alike.

Factory Lubed stabilizers

During the keyboard's assembly process on the conveyor system, the stabilizers are greased. Because they are greased by machines instead of people, the lubing consistency is unparalleled. Greased stabilizers provide a smooth, pleasant feeling when pressed. Thanks to this process, they remain tactilely pleasant and produce a pleasant sound long after they depart from the factory.
