Technical Specifications

Mechanical keyboards use individual mechanical switches under each key, providing tactile feedback, durability, and customization options. Membrane keyboards use a rubber dome sheet over a single circuit board, resulting in a quieter but less tactile typing experience. Mechanical keyboards typically offer better durability (often rated for 50-100 million keystrokes per key), more consistent key feel, and greater customization options, while membrane keyboards are generally less expensive and quieter.

Choose based on your primary use case and preferences: Linear switches (like Cherry MX Red) have smooth keystrokes without tactile bumps, making them ideal for gaming. Tactile switches (like Cherry MX Brown) provide a noticeable bump when activated, offering feedback without loud clicks, suitable for both typing and gaming. Clicky switches (like Cherry MX Blue) deliver both tactile feedback and an audible click, preferred by many typists but potentially disruptive in shared spaces. Consider testing different switches before deciding, as switch preference is highly personal.

Yes, all LUXKEYS keyboards are compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. For Mac users, our keyboards include Mac-specific keycaps and function keys. The keyboard layout and key mapping can be customized through our software, which is available for all major operating systems. Bluetooth models can connect to multiple devices across different platforms simultaneously.

All LUXKEYS keyboards come with a comprehensive 2-year warranty that covers manufacturing defects and hardware failures under normal use. Premium models in the Phantom and Ergo series include an extended 3-year warranty. The warranty does not cover physical damage from accidents, improper use, or unauthorized modifications. We also offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, allowing you to return your keyboard for a full refund if you're not completely satisfied.

Regular maintenance includes: 1) Unplug the keyboard and use compressed air to remove dust between keys. 2) For deeper cleaning, remove keycaps with a keycap puller and clean them with mild soap and water, ensuring they're completely dry before reinstallation. 3) Clean the exposed plate with a soft brush and isopropyl alcohol on a microfiber cloth. 4) For wireless models, ensure battery contacts are clean. 5) Apply a small amount of lubricant to stabilizers if they become noisy. We recommend a complete cleaning every 3-6 months depending on usage.

Yes, all RGB-equipped LUXKEYS keyboards feature customizable lighting through our LUXKEYS Control software. You can create custom lighting profiles with effects like wave, ripple, reactive typing, breathing, and static colors. The software allows per-key RGB programming, saving multiple profiles, and synchronizing lighting with other RGB devices. Some models also support direct keyboard shortcuts for basic lighting adjustments without software. Advanced models can integrate with games and applications for dynamic lighting responses.

Yes, we offer hot-swappable options in our Phantom and Wireless series. These keyboards feature hot-swap sockets that allow you to change switches without soldering, supporting both 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style switches. This feature lets you customize the feel and sound of your keyboard by experimenting with different switch types. Hot-swappable models are clearly labeled in the product specifications, and we also sell switch variety packs separately for testing different options.

Battery life varies by model and usage: With RGB lighting at maximum brightness, expect 30-40 hours of continuous use. With moderate RGB settings, battery life extends to 60-80 hours. With RGB disabled, our keyboards can last 200-240 hours on a single charge. All wireless models feature USB-C fast charging (2 hours for a full charge) and can be used while charging. They also include power-saving features like auto-sleep mode and battery level indicators to help manage power consumption.
