Battery

3000mAh Battery (For comparison, iPhone 12 (year 2020) battery size is 2,815 mAh ).

i use about 3 hours per day, backlight off, and charge every 4 months for maybe 20 minutes.

Key Switches

Hot Swappable Gateron Switches, replaceable with 95% of the 3-Pin/5-Pin mechanical switches.

The one i have is Gateron Red Switch (linear). (Gateron Red Switch is lighter than Cherry MX Silent Red, but slightly louder.)

i have not tried to swap the switches.

Double-layer keytray design.

I've never seen this โ€œDouble-layer splicing designโ€ before. I don't know what is the advantage for this, but it feels solid and robust.
