The Ultimate Fusion: GravaStar x Kailh x YOU

Prepare to interface with the future of gaming hardware as the Mercury K1 Pro emerges from the void. Metal flows up and around the keys, wrapping them in quicksilver branches that flicker and shift against a brilliant aura of power. Two adjustable GravaStar stabilizers anchor the K1 Pro to this plane of reality, locking its energy into a stable matrix. Row after row of custom Kailh Linear switches wait in perfect silence for new commands - the only piece missing is you.

Feel the Aluminum Flow

The Mercury K1 Pro is forged from a strong yet lightweight aluminum alloy for the perfect balance of durability and portability. The branching skeletal frame supports and stabilizes each keystroke with an elegant symmetry that almost feels alive, as though it's still in motion, constantly reforging itself. Evolving. You'd better keep a close eye on this one.

Typing Feel Section

Strike from the Silence

The K1 Pro features a custom set of GravaStar x Kailh linear switches for stealthy keystrokes. Lightweight 45gf actuation and short 1.2mm pre-travel give you the fastest reactions with a quick rebound for rapid input. Durable POK stems produce a clean, crisp sound with a smooth key feel that gets even smoother over time—no lubing required. Rated for over 70,000,000 keystrokes, even for heavy use, these custom linears are the perfect gaming advantage. 

A Core of Quiet Strength

A durable FR4 fiberglass positioning plate holds each switch firmly in place, helping to produce a pure keystroke sound that's free from any unwanted resonance. FR4 is more resistant than other plates under tough conditions, blending rigidity and flex to create a balanced typing experience no matter where you are in this world (or the next).

Stealth Suspension Frame

To keep your hands alert during long gaming sessions, the K1 Pro's positioning plate is mounted with silicone gaskets that create a softer, more comfortable typing experience. The gasket mount works together with a five-layer internal structure of IXPE, PET, two separate layers of PORON, and a silicone foam base to reduce unwanted keystroke noise and vibration within the housing.

The Final Touch

Double-shot keycaps are the perfect finishing touch for the K1 Pro's advanced internal design. Crafted from PBT for enhanced durability and wear resistance, each legend will stay perfectly crisp and clear, even after years of intense gaming action. Special key art is embedded into the keycaps with dye sublimation, so it stays just as pristine. The slightly textured PBT surface provides the perfect grip for enhancing accuracy and preventing key slips.

Limitless Evolution

The K1 Pro features hot-swappable switches that can be removed without any special soldering skills. Customize your K1 Pro with your choice of any 3-pin or 5-pin switch set, or you can swap out specific keys for a truly unique build that evolves to match your exact needs.

A Brilliant Aura of Power

Reach into the aether and take control of the K1 Pro's two integrated RGB lighting systems, featuring your choice of 16.7 million colors. The south-facing key backlights offer 13 different lighting modes, with custom options for lighting speed, brightness, and color changes.

A separate LED sidelight system is woven through each GravaStar stabilizer leg, along each side of the frame, and across the front for a 270-degree light show with five different lighting modes ready for your customization. 

Advanced Multi-mode Connectivity

The future is interconnected, and the K1 Pro is ready for anything with your choice of three connection options. A wired USB-C cable provides a stable, reliable connection while charging the battery, but you can also play wirelessly for the ultimate freedom. The 2.4 GHz connection offers low-latency 1000 Hz polling for fast-paced gaming, or you can maximize compatibility with up to 3 separate Bluetooth 5.0 connections across different devices.

Next-Level Battery Life

The K1 Pro is powered by a massive 8000mAh lithium-ion battery to give you true wireless freedom. Rated for up to 470 hours of use between charges*, you'll never have to worry about losing power in the middle of a game. If you play long enough to drain the battery, just plug in the included USB-C cable to recharge without stopping the action.

* Battery life varies depending on usage patterns, RGB lighting effects, and connection type.

How do I swap my K1 Pro switches?

To swap your K1 Pro switches, you will need a keycap puller, a switch puller, and a new set of switches. Take a quick photo of your keyboard layout for reference, then remove each keycap using the keycap puller. Next, remove each switch using the switch puller with a gentle upward motion.
