Know before you buy
A 60% layout removes the number pad, arrow keys, and function row to save desk space. You can still access these missing keys by using a function (Fn) layer, which requires a brief adjustment period if you rely heavily on those specific inputs.
Yes, the keyboard is fully compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. It uses a standard plug-and-play USB connection, so you can switch between operating systems without needing additional software.
The choice depends on your preference for tactile feedback and noise. Cherry MX switches are the industry standard for reliability, Gateron switches are often noted for a smoother feel, and Kailh offers a variety of unique tactile profiles. All three are high-quality options, so your decision should be based on whether you prefer a linear, tactile, or clicky typing experience.
Absolutely. Weighing only 0.8kg and measuring just over 11 inches in length, the V60 is designed for portability. Its compact footprint makes it easy to slide into a laptop bag or backpack for use on the go.
The V60 uses durable ABS plastic, which is standard for mechanical keyboards. While ABS can develop a slight shine over long periods of intense use, the keycaps are built to withstand daily typing and gaming sessions effectively.
