Compact Mechanical Keyboard with VIA Programming and Tri-Mode Connectivity in a 60% Gasket-Mount Design

This compact mechanical keyboard keeps a travel setup small while giving you practical ways to customize your keys. The CIDOO QK61 V2 uses a 60% layout that leaves out the numpad, dedicated arrow keys and function row, with shortcuts providing access to additional functions. VIA lets you remap keys, create macros and adjust backlighting to suit your workflow.

Choose wired, 2.4GHz wireless or Bluetooth connectivity using the mode switch beside the USB port. A 3000mAh battery supports wireless use, while the gasket structure, polycarbonate plate and five internal sound-improving layers shape a cushioned, thocky and poppy typing character.

Both Black and White versions come fitted with pre-lubed Pearl White linear switches. The hot-swappable PCB makes it easy to explore compatible replacement switches, and Cherry-profile double-shot PBT keycaps are complemented by two transparent polycarbonate keycaps. South-facing LEDs provide backlighting beneath the keys.
