Appearance
The VOLT 2.0's exterior design maintains the essence of its predecessor while incorporating more industrial elements. The combination of strong, geometric lines and graceful curves defines its unique aesthetic style.
Structure
VOLT 2.0 is equipped with our upgraded Leaf Spring + mounting system. The positioning of seven leaf springs were specially designed to improve the sound of the space bar.
On the back, we have integrated the FPC connectors and mode switches into a single maintenance window. The cover plate is secured with magnets, facilitating easy access for adjustments and inspections during daily use.
Screen and Dot-matrix LED Module
The screen and dot-matrix LED module, shielded by the PVD bezel, serves as the visual focal point of the keyboard. It took us months to achieve the perfect balance between the module's size and display performance, but we finally succeeded.

Function 2: My VOLT
This dashboard offers a comprehensive overview of the keyboard's status, including the active keymap layer and typing speed. All elements in this UI feature real-time, dynamic effects that activate in response to key presses.
-
Function 3: Control the dot-matrix LED
The LED matrix menu simplifies customization of the dot-matrix LED. You can easily switch between different modes, such as the typewriter effect, by selecting from the available options. The screen and LED have independent power management, allowing you to use either the screen or dot-matrix LED individually or in combination.
-
Function 4: Game
We've incorporated the Chrome Dino Game into the screen, which is perfect for casual play during breaks or downtime. We'll also add more games in the future for users to enjoy.
-
Function 5: Customize UI colors to match different themes
You can customize the screen's UI color to match your keycaps. We'll also release new UI themes through firmware updates for various holidays, like Valentine's Day and Christmas.
Dot-matrix LED
-
Basic information
The dot-matrix LED features 49 single-color 0402 LED chips arranged in a 7x7 matrix. The LED colors are carefully selected to match the keyboard's color scheme.

Operation modes
-
“CIRCLE” mode
This mode simulates a radar scanning effect.
-
-
“TYPEWRITER” mode
In this mode, each keypress triggers real-time feedback, displaying a unique pattern for each key.
“RAINDROP” mode
-
This mode mimics raindrops trickling down a window, creating a soothing, rainy-day ambiance.
-
“TERMINAL” mode
This mode draws inspiration from the coding experience on vintage PC computers. As you type, each keystroke illuminates an LED dot. Continuous input triggers random line jumps, mimicking the appearance of coding on an old PC. Moreover, pressing the Enter key, space bar, or Backspace key triggers corresponding effects on the LED display, simulating actions such as line breaks and deletions.
-
Customization
Beyond the built-in modes, we provide a PC-based LED Matrix Tool for users to create custom LED display effects, both static and dynamic. You can design patterns and animations by simply drawing with your mouse in the software. With the capability to create animations up to 1000 frames, you can truly make your VOLT one-of-a-kind.
