G3MS Sapphire Mechanical switches
The Dark Project engineering team introduced the G3ms switches as their inaugural switch design. This innovative design features a reduced connection area between the stem (the moving part) and the housing, resulting in a smaller friction area. As a result, these switches offer a remarkably smooth operation, eliminating the occurrence of spring ping and any bothersome sounds commonly experienced with other switch types.
Actuation force – 50g
Pre-travel – 2 mm
Durability – 50 million keystrokes

PBT keycaps and Double-Shot technology
Profile – CSA. The unique CSA profile has a rounded shape and softly slanted sides. This provides a more natural typing experience and reduces finger fatigue, as it allows the fingers to rest in a more relaxed position.
Keycap Material – PBT (polybutylene terephthalate). PBT plastic is highly resistant to chemicals. Because of this, it is far more durable and abrasion resistant than ABS.
Manufacturing technology – Double-Shot (double casting). The keycap consists of 2 separate plastic molds. Under high temperatures and pressure, these plastic molds are combined. Using this method ensures that the symbols on the keycaps will never be erased, even after long and intensive use.

Effortless backlight control – Software and Hotkeys
This Keyboard features a full RGB backlight with a wide range of customizable effects. In addition, the user can choose from an array of 16.7 million colors in order to set the perfect ambience. A separate diode under each key provides a directional light beam and allows you to regulate the color, the intensity, and brightness by using the dedicated Dark Project software or by pressing the pre-set keyboard shortcuts that can be found in the user’s manual included in the box.

Complete Noise Isolation
This keyboard boasts a unique soundproofing solution known as Silent Mount. In addition to the two silicone layers located under the plate and under the PCB, the bottom silicone pad has a system of ledges laid between all points of contact between the parts of the case to provide additional cushioning. The screws that secure the keyboard’s body are also topped with silicone caps to further enhance the soundproofing capabilities. This results in a complex soundproofing system that goes far beyond market-standard soundproofing solutions.

Manually Greased stabilizers
During the keyboard’s assembly process on the conveyor system, the stabilizers are greased, by hand. Greased stabilizers provide a smooth, pleasant feeling when pressed. Thanks to this process, they remain tactilely pleasant and produce a pleasant sound long after their departure from the factory.
