Product description
Moonlight White design and build: The Mercury K1 features an aluminum alloy exoskeleton finished in Moonlight White, with flowing curves and a compact 75% silhouette that houses 79 keys. Dual-layer PBT keycaps ship on the board to resist shine and provide a tactile, premium surface suitable for minimalist or white-themed setups.
Switches and acoustics: This model uses GravaStar × Kailh linear switches tuned for fast actuation (about 40g actuation force and roughly 1.5mm pre-travel). A five-layer sound-dampening system and a gasket-mounted PC plate are engineered to absorb impact vibrations—GravaStar states a high percentage reduction in harsh resonance—creating a smoother, more muted keystroke character out of the box.
Lighting and software: Dual RGB ecosystems power per-key illumination with 16.8 million colors and a range of dynamic effects. GravaCore software allows per-key assignments, macro programming and layered profiles (up to eight profile layers), enabling deep customization of lighting and key mapping to match a refined white build or more colorful rigs.
Wireless power and connectivity: A large 8000mAh battery supports extended wireless and RGB runtime. The keyboard supports wired USB-C, Bluetooth 5.0 multi-device pairing, and a low-latency 2.4GHz dongle for gaming, allowing quick switching between sources. It is compatible with both Windows and Mac systems for broad usability.
Packaging and what's included: The Mercury K1 arrives in moonlight-inspired packaging and is positioned as a premium gift option. Included in the box are the keyboard itself, a detachable USB-C cable and a 2.4GHz dongle, plus a protective plastic cover to help keep the internals clean during transport and storage.
Pros
- Sturdy aluminum chassis with refined 75% layout
- Creamy linear switch feel and strong acoustic dampening
- Multiple wireless modes and very large 8000mAh battery
Cons
- Limited built-in RGB effect variety compared with some rivals
- No official AZERTY layout option
- Third-party lighting ecosystem support can be inconsistent
VerdictThe Mercury K1 blends a sculpted metallic chassis with tournament-style linear switches and thorough acoustic engineering to deliver a refined typing and gaming experience. Its 75% footprint preserves dedicated arrow keys while saving desk space, and the large battery plus USB-C, Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4GHz options make it a flexible multi-device companion. Sound-wise, the five-layer dampening and ga

Smooth typing in a stealth black package
Typing is unbelievably smooth and the stealth black finish looks premium. It’s one of those keyboards that impresses more in person — excellent feel and refined sound.

Reliable and responsive for gaming
Love the look, feel, and responsiveness. Switching between Bluetooth, dongle, and USB-C is seamless. The full-alloy body feels durable — highly recommended for gamers.

Finally gave in — glad I did
I’d delayed buying this but it’s an amazing unit. It bridges the gap between 60% and full-size, keeping F-keys while saving space. Setup is plug-and-play with USB-C, Bluetooth, or dongle; software unlocks more options. Quieter than my older boards, keys are low-noise and very responsive, and there are two tilt heights.

Marbly, creamy, and well engineered
The keyboard sounds marbly and slightly thocky in a pleasant way. The volume knob feels good, the aluminum frame is solid, and the dampening works well. Great for both typing and gaming; the 75% layout is slightly larger than a 60% but I appreciate having arrow keys.

Great for shooters, needy RGB fans beware
Fantastic keyboard for Valorant and CS2, but I’d like more RGB mode options. Otherwise it’s a top performer for competitive play.

A connoisseur’s hefty and tasteful choice
I switch aesthetics often and this matched my color scheme exactly. The weight and build quality feel luxurious compared with other boards I’ve owned, and the size fits my desk perfectly. Key sounds match what you see in demos — solid and satisfying.

Impressive stock acoustics and solid features
Space bar is stable with no ping, the linear switches are smooth and creamy, and the metal frame gives a reassuring heft. It’s hot-swappable, comes with a protective cover, and the OLED/ambient lighting is a nice touch. My main gripe is the lighting options could include more reactive or twinkle modes.

I collect colors — every variant impressed
I own this model in multiple colors plus a K1 Pro and a V75 HE; all perform excellently straight from the box. HE boards have a different acoustic character than mechanicals, but the K1 mechanical variants give a clearly superior typing feel and tone. The bio-mechanical look isn’t for everyone, but swapping keycaps quickly changes the vibe. Battery life feels endless when not running full RGB.

Stunning hardware, would like AZERTY option
A real gem for those who appreciate unique design and solid construction. RGB is bright and the effects are stylish. Switches are smooth and responsive for gaming and fast typing, and the detachable cable adds convenience. My only issue is the lack of an official AZERTY layout for French users.
