Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is TKL still the best-selling gaming layout?

A: By absolute unit volume TKL remains #1 in gaming channels, though 75% is growing faster from a smaller base. A TKL + 75% two-SKU line covers both demand curves.

Q: Can you do a 8,000Hz polling TKL?

A: Yes – our enthusiast PCB supports 8kHz wired polling on select switches; note that mainstream buyers rarely distinguish above 1kHz.

Q: What lead time applies to cafe orders of 1,000+ units?

A: Standard 35-45 days after sample approval; we hold capacity slots for recurring cafe and esports clients.
