LUMINKEY65 Review at Addice Inc: A Compact Aluminum Tri-Mode Mechanical Keyboard

Custom mechanical keyboards can get expensive and complicated fast. The LUMINKEY65, sold by Addice Inc, packs a lot of enthusiast features into a compact 65% board without requiring you to solder anything. Here's what it offers.

What Is the LUMINKEY65?

The LUMINKEY65 is a 65% mechanical keyboard with a CNC aluminum case, a copper rear weight, a gasket-mounted PC plate and a hot-swap PCB. Addice Inc, a gaming gear store that also sells mousepads, mouse skates, mice and gaming desks, carries it in an Ano Black finish.

Key Features

Copper-weighted aluminum build

The case is CNC-machined from 6063 aluminum and paired with a large copper rear weight and matching badge, for a dense, stable board with a black-and-copper look.

Gasket mount and hot-swap PCB

A gasket-mounted PC plate, layered internal foam and a 1.6 mm hot-swap PCB let you swap in compatible MX-style switches without soldering.

Tri-mode connectivity

The LUMINKEY65 connects over USB-C, 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth. The listing states up to 1000 Hz polling over USB-C and 2.4 GHz, while Bluetooth runs at 125 Hz.

VIA support

VIA lets you remap keys and set up layers and macros, and the keyboard works with both Windows and macOS.
