Available:Features:
- QMK/VIA software support: QMK / VIA is open-source software for keyboards that allows anyone to program and remap each key easily and quickly. You can personalize your own keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, and more.
- Gasket mount design: The C3 Pro uses a gasket mount structure to reduce sound resonance while adding more typing flexibility. Along with the sound-absorbing foam and the case foam, it provides you with a quieter and smoother typing experience.
- 1000 Hz polling rate & NKRO: Empowered by the high- performance ARM architecture MCU with 256KB Flash, it provides a 1000 Hz polling rate for a fast and responsive typing speed in your working and gaming. The NKRO feature is convenient to help you enter multiple keypresses at a time.
- Easy toggle between macOS and Windows: Press the key combo FN + CAPS to instantly change the keyboard working system to Mac / Win. And it accommodates universal keycaps compatible with both systems.
- Shine-through double-shot ABS keycaps: Made through the ABS double-shot process, the keycaps are durable and wear-resistant. Meanwhile, the shine-through legends lit up by the north-facing LED present a glamorous look at your fingertips. And you can also switch from more than 14 types of red backlights.

Unlike other "programmables," this is so much more than swapping CapsLock and Escape keys in some configurator software. If you have even a little proficiency in C++, you can make it into anything you can dream up. Google QMK firmware and have a look. You want to have an extra "shifted" layer for punctuation or a numpad or window control keys or programmable macro buttons or capsword (a capslock that automatically turns off at the next space)? No problem. You want a layer for home-row nav keys or mouse wheel up/down or F13-F24 extra function keys for macros... just add them to your layout file and flash. Want to switch from QWERTY to Dvorak to Colemak at the touch of a button... then this is a good entry-level model to try your firmware-building chops. You can have 32 layers, different tap-hold scenarios, multi-key chorded combos... it's a real (but fun) rabbit hole.
Don't get me wrong. There's definitely a learning curve. But most people don't want to drop $400 to see if they have the time and the C++ chops to build the required layout files. $30 is a totally different story. And you've got the same processor as the better keyboards that you can later step up and buy, if you're into it. Just my 2 cents on the value prop here...
