GravaStar has announced the Mercury V75 Pro, a flagship gaming keyboard designed for competitive gamers and esports professionals. The Mercury V75 Pro is the leading model in the new Mercury V75 Series and is now available globally through GravaStar’s website, Amazon, and selected retailers. The keyboard is engineered to deliver high precision, rapid response, and a distinctive design, aiming to meet the demands of those who require reliability and performance in high-pressure gaming situations.
Next-Generation Gateron Jade Gaming Magnetic Switches
At the heart of the Mercury V75 Pro is the Gateron Jade Gaming Magnetic Switch, which uses Hall Effect technology to provide a high degree of precision. The switches feature a 0.005mm real-time precision, an 8000Hz polling rate, and a latency of just 0.125ms. This combination is intended to give users a rapid and accurate response, which can be crucial in competitive play. The switches are also rated for a 100 million keystroke lifespan, supporting long-term durability.
One notable aspect is the customisable actuation point, allowing users to adjust the sensitivity of each key. This level of fine-tuning can be particularly useful for gamers who require different responses for various games or play styles. The Gateron Jade switches also offer a unique HiFi Mahjong sound profile, adding a distinctive audio feedback to each keystroke.
Construction and Design
The Mercury V75 Pro is built with a full aluminium alloy frame and a gasket mount structure. This construction is designed to provide a stable and refined typing experience, while also enhancing durability. The keyboard is available in three distinct finishes:
- Neon Graffiti: Features a hand-painted, street-inspired graffiti finish, making each unit unique. This version includes an exclusive player identity code and four layers of sound dampening.
- Iron Purple: Comes with a metallic baked coating and four layers of sound dampening.
- Cyberpunk: Offers a metallic baked coating and five layers of sound dampening for additional acoustic control.
Each model is equipped with dynamic triple-sided RGB frame lighting, footlights, and per-key illumination. All lighting features are fully customisable through GravaStar’s web-based software, allowing users to personalise the keyboard’s appearance and functionality.
