The wired model is priced from 99 yuan ($14), while the three-mode version retails for 179 yuan ($25), though it’s not yet on sale.

The Aurora GK10 utilizes a compact 98-key design with an ergonomic layout that saves space while maintaining key functionality. The device connects via a detachable Type-C cable.

The keyboard features hot-swappable connectors for all keys that support both 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches, allowing users to customize their typing experience with ease. The GK10’s true mechanical switches come with three options: blue (tactile and clicky), red (smooth and linear), and brown (tactile with quieter feedback).
