Know before you buy
The AIM60 is designed for 60% mechanical keyboard builds. It is compatible with standard MX-type switches, but you should ensure your PCB and plate layout align with the 305mm x 107mm dimensions of the case.
The 300-gram brass weight adds significant heft to the base, which prevents the keyboard from sliding during intense typing sessions. It also alters the internal acoustics, typically resulting in a deeper, more solid sound profile compared to an all-aluminum build.
Yes, the AIM60 includes the necessary assembly tools to put your build together. You will still need to provide your own PCB, plate, switches, and stabilizers to complete the keyboard.
PORON dampening is used to absorb vibrations and eliminate hollow sounds within the case. It creates a more refined, consistent typing feel by softening the impact of bottoming out your switches.
The anti-static gasket provides a stable mounting point for your internal components while protecting sensitive electronics from static discharge. It helps ensure a secure fit, reducing potential rattle or movement between the plate and the case.
The case features a front height of 20.6 mm and a rear height of 28.8 mm. This provides a subtle, ergonomic incline that is generally comfortable for most users without the need for additional feet.
