SPM has launched the Mongdol 104 keyboard, expanding its tenkeyless Mongdol 87 model into a 104-key full-size layout. The product features an LCD display, a control knob, and two switch options.
The Mongdol 104 inherits the design and typing feel of the Mongdol 87 while adding a number pad. It is available in two color options: Black and SPM Purple.
The newly added LCD display allows users to check the date, time, remaining battery level, connection mode, and OS mode. Using web software, users can upload and display up to three GIF files. The knob is used for volume control, LED adjustments, and LCD mode settings, and users can also assign functions such as arrow keys or mouse wheel up/down via QMK/VIA.
Users can choose between two switch options: the Mongdol v2—the successor to the Mongdol White—and the Moksae Linear. The Mongdol v2 features a bottom housing material containing 50% fiberglass, which SPM explained reduces noise and delivers a high-pitched typing sound.
Internally, it utilizes a PP switch plate and a gasket mount design. The sound chamber and lower battery chamber are separated based on the middle frame, and with QMK/VIA support, key mapping and various functions can be configured on the web.
An SPM official stated, "The Mongdol 104 maintains the beloved design and typing feel of the Mongdol 87 while expanding its versatility with a full-size layout, LCD display, and the new Mongdol v2 switch," adding, "We hope users can enjoy Mongdol's signature comfortable typing experience in both work and daily life."
