A genuine Hall Effect competitive board in a full-size layout, for players who want a number pad without giving up adjustable actuation and Rapid Trigger.
Drop ALT

A hobbyist favorite for good reason — a genuinely solid aluminum case that gets out of the way and lets you build the board you actually want.
