75% gasket-mount aluminum custom keyboard with a Hall-effect (HE) magnetic-switch PCB and the 'Shine-Print' (SP) special-edition keycap design — accepts ONLY HE-compatible 3-pin magnetic switches; standard MX-style mechanical switches will NOT fit the proprietary magnetic sockets per vendor disclaimer ('This magnetic switches keyboard does NOT support mechanical switches'). The 'SP' suffix denotes the Shine-Through gradient-effect side-printed PBT double-shot keycaps that wash south-facing RGB along the key edge for backlight visibility — this is the keycap signature distinguishing HE-SP from the standard V5 HE SKU on Akkogear (separate handle, separate variants, different connectivity). Ships pre-installed with Akko Cream Yellow V2 Magnetic switches (single switch option across Black / Silver / Purple color variants). HE-specific features include 8K Hz polling rate (wired USB-C), Rapid Trigger (0.1mm-2.5mm range), customizable actuation distance (0.1mm-4.0mm), Dynamic Keystrokes (up to 4 actions per key), Mod-Tap, Toggle Key, Roar Mode, Gamepad Mode, and per-second automatic calibration — all configured exclusively via the proprietary 'MonsGeek Driver' software. QMK and VIA are NOT supported on this PCB revision (HE analog firmware is incompatible with VIA's digital keymap model). Wired-only (no Bluetooth or 2.4GHz wireless). Includes Akko plate-mount stabilizers (pre-installed), Poron case foam, Poron plate foam, IXPE switch pads, and an optional tape-mod kit (not pre-installed).
