Following the success of our debut mechanical keyboard last year, we are excited to introduce the MKey PRO, our latest innovation crafted to elevate your typing and gaming experience. Featuring premium materials and top-tier features, the MKey PRO is driven by the enthusiastic feedback and support from our community.

Available Starting November 11th, 2024
The MKey PRO will be available in two bold color themes, Freedom and Darkness, offering users a choice between Gateron G Pro 3.0 Yellow or Brown switches to perfectly match their typing style. With a competitive price of USD $89.9, this keyboard delivers incredible value.



Tri-Mode (Bluetooth 5.2 / Wireless 2.4 GHz / USB-C Wired)
Seamlessly switch between Bluetooth 5.2, Wireless 2.4 GHz, and USB-C wired modes for ultimate flexibility. A magnetic cover for dongle storage ensures your wireless accessories are always close at hand.

Gasket Design with Poron Padding
Designed for comfort and sound quality, the MKey PRO's gasket-mounted design with poron padding delivers a quieter, lower-pitched typing sound and absorbs vibrations. This innovative construction enhances both the tactile and acoustic typing experience.



Multi-Functional Knob
The MKey PRO's knob offers three modes: volume adjustment, zoom, and ARGB lighting
control. The patent-pending lighting ring at the base of the knob indicates the active mode:
  • Blue and White Comet: Volume Control
  • Red and White Comet: Zoom Mode
  • Colorful ARGB: Lighting Mode



Long Lasting Life
Stay productive longer with the MKey PRO, designed for extended use, the keyboard offers:
  • Up to 310 Hours of Battery Life (Usage without ARGB Lighting)
  • Up to 100,000 Hours of Battery Life (Under Standby Mode)



Pre-Lubed Gateron G Pro 3.0 Switches
The MKey PRO 75 is equipped with pre-lubed Gateron G Pro 3.0 switches, available in Yellow and Brown variants. These switches are designed for smooth actuation, offering users a choice between different typing sounds and feels. The 3.0 version features a frosted, light-guided surface, enhancing backlight brightness and consistency. The upgraded and harder pins contribute to a stable and smoother keystroke.



Hot-swappable Mechanical Switches
The MKey PRO supports both 3-pin and 5-pin switches, thanks to YUEHU's Hot-swap sockets. Customizing your keyboard has never been easier, with a provided switch puller to effortlessly swap out switches to suit your preference.

PBT-Made Keycaps with OEM Profile
A big contributor to a pleasant typing experience is how the keycaps feel on the fingertips. Crafted from high-grade PBT, the MKey PRO's keycaps feature the OEM profile, known for its ergonomic design and comfortable typing experience. The smooth finish of PBT material adds a premium feel to every keystroke.

VIA / QMK Software Support
The MKey PRO is fully compatible with VIA and QMK software, allowing users to personalize their keyboard with ease. Whether it's key remapping, creating custom shortcuts, or designing complex macros, the open-source software makes customization straightforward and accessible.

Release Date and Pricing
The MKey PRO will be available for purchase on November 11, 2024 (Pacific Time).
  • MKey PRO Freedom Brown Switches: US$89.90
  • MKey PRO Freedom Yellow Switches: US$89.90
  • MKey PRO Darkness Brown Switches: US$89.90
