Krux Drox: the compact keyboard for work, gaming, and everything in between

Introduced in March, the Krux Drox wireless mechanical keyboard combines retro-inspired styling with modern functionality. Its minimalist 65% gasket-mount design was created for users who expect not only a great typing experience, but also quick access to settings and seamless switching between devices. With Drox, the display, wireless connectivity, and customization are not just extras added to a mechanical keyboard. They are an integral part of a design built around the way we work and play today.

The Drox shows that retro-inspired design doesn't have to come at the expense of modern functionality. Featuring a built-in display, a multifunctional control knob, tri-mode connectivity, hot-swap and extensive customization options, it is designed to meet the expectations of today's users.

INTERFACE ALWAYS WITHIN REACH

The Drox’s most distinctive feature is its vertically oriented 2.3-inch display. It provides quick access to key keyboard information, including battery level, the active connection mode, and the status of Caps Lock and Win Lock.

The display works together with a multifunction control knob, which adjusts the volume by default and can also be used to control ARGB lighting or switch between Windows and Mac modes. When connected via USB, users can upload custom GIF animations to the keyboard’s onboard memory and switch between them directly from the display. All of this is packed into a compact 65% layout that minimizes desk space without compromising functionality.

DESIGN THAT GROWS WITH THE USER

The Drox was designed to deliver a great experience straight out of the box while leaving plenty of room for future customization. Linear Krux Violet switches work together with a five-layer sound-dampening system and a gasket-mount design, providing smooth keystrokes and a more refined typing sound during everyday use.

At the same time, support for 5-pin hot-swap switches makes it easy to replace switches without soldering, while durable PBT keycaps help maintain their appearance even after years of intensive use. The high-quality plastic chassis feels solid throughout, with no flex or creaking during use, and the keyboard’s reassuring weight adds stability on the desk.

ONE KEYBOARD, MANY SCENARIOS

Triple connectivity makes it easy to switch between devices and usage scenarios. The keyboard supports Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz wireless, and wired USB-C connections, allowing users to move seamlessly between a desktop PC, laptop, tablet, and smartphone.

Customization is further enhanced by browser-based software. Users can create macros, remap keys, manage ARGB lighting, and access gaming features such as N-key rollover or Snap Tap.

DESIGNED AROUND THE USER

The Drox is a keyboard that grows with the user, from the first keystroke to new switches, macros, and operating modes. It shows that a compact design does not have to mean choosing between mobility, customization, and functionality. As a result, one keyboard can work just as well for work, learning, and entertainment, no matter how the user’s setup changes.
