Every key can be individually configured through menu options available right on the device itself, through the menu knob and color display. Fitted with a high-quality, tactile tournament switch and a dedicated port for console adapters, the Sando is ready for competition. The custom silicone case provides a comfortable, non-slip feel.

Built to stand the test of time

GEON Raw Switches

Each Sando comes with 16 GEON Raw HE 40g switches pre-installed. Our team diligently tested several competing Hall Effect box switches and found GEON's to be the standout performer. While it takes 40 grams of force to completely bottom out, the initial force is only 27 grams!

Under 1ms Response Time

Our electronics are as fast as any, with responsiveness as fast as any GP-2040, under 1 millisecond.

Uniquely Advanced Menu System

At KatsuGear, our secret weapon is our strength in software. We dedicate extensive effort to developing and implementing quality of life features that most wouldn't even attempt. Scroll down to learn about our extensive on-device options.

Replaceable USB Socket

Being a major wear point, we decided to make the USB-C socket easily replaceable with off the shelf parts, enhancing the user-repairability of the device.

Core Features

A strong feature set with options exceeding the competition.

  • All Analog

    Since all 16 movement and action buttons are on Hall Effect sensors, the user can customize the actuation point per key!

  • Rapid Trigger

    With analog and Rapid Trigger, the signal stops instantly when you stop pressing, allowing for a more immediate second input.

  • Menu System

    Controlled using the metal knob, Sando's color display provides a clean and intuitive user interface.

  • Analog Stick Emulation

    Inside the menu, the movement keys can be toggled to behave as either the right or left analog stick.

    *Digital stick input only.

  • Swappable Switches

    Prefer a different brand or variant of Hall Effect keyboard switch? Our calibration system is compatible with a wide range of them by default.

  • Button Binds

    All right on the device, you can customize button bindings as well as swap between a selection of SOCD modes.

  • Sleek Finish

    The high-quality treatment of the top aluminum plate isn't just for show. On top of providing a smooth, luxurious feel, it improves durability and scratch resistance.

  • Artwork Compatible

    The two top plates (one acrylic, one aluminum) are interchangeable, allowing the user to display custom art on top of their Sando. A template will be available.
