Know before you buy
The CWKL layout features a standard bottom row configuration, while the HHKB layout offers the classic split-backspace and blocked-corner aesthetic. Both layouts are designed to provide a compact 60% typing experience.
The top mount system provides a consistent, firm typing feel across the entire board. It is a classic mounting style that offers a stable platform for your switches, ensuring a uniform sound profile.
Yes, the 1.6mm non-flex cut PCB is fully compatible with QMK and VIA firmware. This allows you to easily remap keys, create custom layers, and manage the underglow RGB lighting settings.
Both brass and copper weights add significant heft to the keyboard, which helps stabilize the board on your desk. While they offer similar performance, copper will develop a unique patina over time, whereas brass maintains a more consistent, bright gold appearance.
Yes, the exploded spacebar design deviates from standard 60% layouts. You will need to ensure your keycap set includes the specific sizes required for the exploded configuration to achieve a proper fit.
The Toro60 features a fixed 7-degree typing angle. This is a standard, comfortable incline that works well for most users without the need for adjustable feet.
