About Your Keyboard

Your new Avant keyboard represents state-of-the-art keyboard technology. It has
been widely praised for its full-stroke range of motion and the tactile feedback
produced by quality keyswitches.

Press a few keys on the keyboard.  

The keys are firm and responsive. The slight

click you hear and feel when pressing a key is mechanical, not an electronic
beep.  Each key has a special mechanical switch causing each keystroke to be
firm and efficient.  The responsive Avant keyboard will make your keyboarding
experience the best you’ve ever felt!
