Know before you buy
Yes, the DZ60RGB ANSI V2 PCB is hot-swappable. You can simply pull out your existing switches and plug in new ones without needing any soldering tools.
This keyboard is fully compatible with the VIA configurator. It provides a user-friendly interface to remap keys, create macros, and adjust per-key RGB lighting in real-time.
The 60% layout does not have dedicated physical arrow keys, but you can easily access them through a function layer. You can use VIA to map the arrow keys to a convenient location on your base layer if you prefer.
The aluminum case provides a significantly more rigid and premium feel, which helps reduce unwanted vibrations and creates a deeper, more satisfying sound profile when typing.
Yes, the included PBT dye-sub keycaps are highly resistant to the shine that often develops on cheaper ABS plastic over time. They offer a textured, matte finish that remains durable even with heavy daily use.
The keyboard features a USB-C interface. You will need a standard USB-C to USB-A or USB-C to USB-C cable, depending on your computer's available ports.
