The clicky sibling of Cherry's ultra-low-profile mechanism incorporates a specialized micro-sound clicker that emits a sharp, typewriter-like snap despite its microscopic form factor.

Keystrokes actuate cleanly at 0.8mm with a total stroke of 1.8mm, providing an ultra-fast, responsive typing rhythm. The mechanical wing structure keeps keycaps perfectly level and wobble-free across the entire keyboard deck. It brings the unmistakable charm of vintage clicky keyboards into sleek modern laptops without adding bulk.
