Know before you buy
Hall Effect switches use magnetic sensors instead of physical metal contacts, allowing for features like rapid trigger and adjustable actuation points. This results in significantly faster response times and greater precision, which is ideal for competitive gaming.
Yes, the CIDOO C60 features a hot-swappable PCB. This allows you to easily pull out and replace the magnetic switches without needing to solder, provided you use compatible Hall Effect magnetic switches.
An 8K polling rate means the keyboard reports its status to your computer 8,000 times per second, resulting in a latency of just 0.125ms. This minimizes input lag, ensuring your key presses are registered almost instantaneously for a more responsive feel.
No, the C60 uses a web-based driver. You can customize your lighting, key mapping, and actuation settings directly through your browser without needing to install heavy software on your computer.
The 60% layout is designed primarily for gaming and minimalist desk setups, meaning it lacks a dedicated number pad and function row. While you can access these keys via secondary layers, it may require a learning curve if you rely heavily on those keys for work.
The C60 is built with advanced sound dampening to produce a 'thocky' and quiet acoustic profile. It is designed to minimize harsh plastic clatter, making it a great choice if you prefer a more muted, premium typing sound.
