# TG67 V3 Mechanical Keyboard

I just received an email from Kinetic Labs stating the TG67 keyboard is now available. What is the TG67, and what makes it so special? The following is a brief summary from the [website](https://kineticlabs.com/keyboards/kinetic/tg67-v2-hot-swap-mechanical-keyboard-kit?utm_campaign=email-11-16-23-tg67-keyboard&utm_medium=email&utm_source=customerio) speaks for itself:

> The TG67 is a 67% gasket-mounted hot-swappable mechanical keyboard kit with arrow keys and VIA compatibility. The Kit does not include switches or keycaps.

What makes this keyboard so special to command a premium price? I'm not convinced it's worth breaking the bank for this one.
