The middle part has a three-way wire groove, which is convenient for players to route wires according to their usage habits and desktop layout. It is a two-stage design with non-slip rubber, and the overall anti-slip effect is very good.

The keyboard adopts the Type-C interface, and a card slot design is added above the interface to make the cable connection more stable and not easy to disconnect.
