Know before you buy
Cherry MX Clear switches are known for a noticeable bump when you press the key, providing more physical feedback than standard linear switches. They require a slightly firmer touch, which helps prevent accidental keystrokes and makes them a favorite for users who prefer a deliberate, responsive typing feel.
Yes, the V60 is compatible with macOS. While it is designed with a standard USA layout, you can easily adjust the modifier keys in your Mac's system settings to match your preferred workflow.
The dip-switches allow you to customize the keyboard's layout without needing extra software. You can use them to swap functions like the Caps Lock and Control keys or change the layout between QWERTY, Dvorak, and Colemak to suit your specific typing needs.
Because the V60 lacks a dedicated number pad and function row, these keys are accessed by holding down a function (Fn) layer key. The keyboard uses secondary legends on the keycaps to indicate which keys trigger these hidden commands.
Yes, the keyboard features a detachable USB cable, making it easy to pack in a bag or sleeve. This also allows you to replace the cable with a custom one if you prefer a different length or aesthetic.
