Know before you buy
The gasket-mounted design uses soft materials to isolate the plate from the case, which provides a more flexible, cushioned typing feel. Combined with the five layers of sound-dampening material, this construction is specifically engineered to produce a deeper, 'thocky' sound profile.
Yes, the QK61 V2 features a hot-swappable PCB. You can easily pull out and replace the mechanical switches with any compatible 3-pin or 5-pin MX-style switch without needing to solder.
This keyboard supports VIA, an open-source software that allows you to remap keys, create macros, and manage lighting layers in real-time. Once you configure your settings in the VIA interface, they are saved directly to the keyboard's onboard memory.
No, the south-facing RGB orientation is actually an advantage. It prevents interference with Cherry-profile keycaps, ensuring that your keycaps won't hit the switch housing during a full keystroke.
The keyboard offers three ways to connect: a stable wired USB-C connection, a low-latency 2.4GHz wireless dongle for gaming, and Bluetooth for pairing with multiple mobile devices or laptops. You can easily toggle between these modes depending on your current setup.
The 60% layout is highly compact, meaning it lacks a dedicated number pad, function row, and arrow keys. While it is excellent for saving desk space and improving ergonomics, you will need to use function layers to access those missing keys, which may require a brief adjustment period.
