How this list was made
To build this list, we took the 7 GravaStar keyboards in the current catalogue and compared the information stated in each listing: layout, connection type, switch type, hot-swap support, polling rate, and bundled accessories. We kept every model because the pool holds fewer than 12 entries. The Mercury K1 Pro stands out as the only listing that states hot-swap support, while the V75 and V75 Lite are the only models that state 8000Hz polling. Prices shown on the page are read live from the store listing and carry the time they were read. Nobody at this site has used these keyboards, so the picks are based on specifications and seller-stated features.
Choosing the right one
Layout: 75% versus 96% to 98%
The GravaStar pool splits by layout. The Mercury K1, K1 Pro, and Mercury V75 Hall Effect are listed as 75% boards, a compact format that drops the numeric keypad. The Mercury K98 Pro is listed as 96% to 98%, which keeps a numeric keypad in a slightly shorter frame than a traditional full-size board.
The other three listings do not state a layout, so check the seller's description if the exact key arrangement matters to you.
Connection: wired or wireless
Two picks in this pool state a connection type. The Mercury V75 Hall Effect and the V75 Pro Special Edition are wired. The Mercury K1, K1 Pro, and K98 Pro are wireless, while the V75 Lite and V60 HE do not state one. Wireless keyboards remove the cable from the desk; the Bluetooth SIG overview describes the Classic and LE radio options commonly used by wireless devices. If your priority is the fastest stated polling figure, the wired V75 lists 8000Hz. If you want a cable-free desk, choose a model whose listing says Wireless.
Switch type: mechanical or magnetic Hall effect
GravaStar's current catalogue has two switch families. The K1, K1 Pro, and K98 Pro are listed as mechanical. The V75 Hall Effect, V75 Lite, and V60 HE are listed as magnetic Hall effect; the full V75 listing also adds 8000Hz polling and a 0.005mm adjustment.
Magnetic switches use a different operating method from mechanical switches. Match the switch type to your preferences rather than assuming one is always better, because the listings here do not include performance test results.
Hot-swap and customization
The Mercury K1 Pro is the only keyboard in this pool whose listing states hot-swap support. Hot-swap support means the switches can be removed and replaced without soldering, which matters if you plan to change switches later. None of the other six listings states hot-swap support, so do not assume it is available on the K1, K98 Pro, or any V-series model.
Included accessories and combos
The Mercury V60 HE is sold as a combo with an M1 Pro Mouse in pink, and the Mercury V75 Pro Special Edition includes what the listing calls a coiled aviator USB cable combo. The other picks are listed as keyboards only.
If you are outfitting a new desk, a combo can reduce the number of separate orders. If you already own peripherals, a standalone keyboard keeps the setup simpler.
Keyboard placement and comfort
The OSHA Computer Workstations eTool recommends putting the keyboard directly in front of you, keeping your shoulders relaxed and your wrists straight and in line with your forearms. That guidance applies no matter which GravaStar model you choose.
Compact 75% boards leave more room for mouse movement but move some keys closer together, so adjust keyboard height and tilt to keep your wrists neutral. A 96% to 98% board takes up more space but keeps the number pad within easy reach.
Questions
How many GravaStar keyboards are compared here?
Seven GravaStar keyboards are in the current catalogue used for this guide. They cover 75% wireless mechanical boards, a 96% to 98% wireless mechanical board, wired and Lite Hall effect models, a special edition, and one combo that includes a mouse. The page displays live prices next to each pick.
What is the difference between the Mercury K series and Mercury V series?
The K series in this list uses conventional mechanical switches and includes 75% and 96% to 98% wireless boards. The V series uses magnetic Hall effect switches; the V75 and V75 Lite state 8000Hz polling, and the V75 also states 0.005mm adjustment. If you prefer standard mechanical switch operation, choose K. If you want Hall effect, choose V.
Which GravaStar keyboard supports hot-swap switches?
The Mercury K1 Pro is the only keyboard in this pool whose listing states hot-swap support. That means the switches can be replaced without soldering. The Mercury K1, K98 Pro, and the V-series models do not state hot-swap support in the data used for this guide.
Do any GravaStar keyboards come with a mouse?
Yes. The Mercury V60 HE Gaming Keyboard is listed as a combo with an M1 Pro Mouse in pink. It also states magnetic Hall effect switches. No other keyboard in this pool includes a mouse according to its listing, though the V75 Pro Special Edition includes a coiled aviator USB cable combo.
Are GravaStar keyboards wireless?
Some are. The Mercury K1, K1 Pro, and K98 Pro are listed as wireless mechanical keyboards. The Mercury V75 Hall Effect and the V75 Pro Special Edition are listed as wired. The Mercury V75 Lite and V60 HE do not state a connection type, so verify the seller's description before ordering if wireless is required.
What does 8000Hz polling rate mean?
A polling rate of 8000Hz means the keyboard can report input to the computer up to 8000 times per second. The Mercury V75 and V75 Lite list this figure. The V75 also lists a 0.005mm actuation adjustment. Higher polling rates are one of the advertised performance specs for these Hall effect boards.
