Product Description

The Ktechs Arc60 is a 60% mechanical keyboard kit suited for hobbyists who want to build a custom keyboard with gasket mounting. It does not include switches or keycaps, so it fits users comfortable sourcing and installing these components. The board offers flexibility with plate-mounted and plateless PCB options, appealing to those who want to experiment with typing feel and sound.

Key Features

  • Gasket mount design cushions the plate or PCB, reducing typing noise and vibration for a softer typing experience.
  • Includes both plate-mounted and plateless PCB options, allowing users to choose between a firmer or more flexible typing feel.
  • Comes with multiple foam gaskets and silicone corner pieces, which help improve acoustics and reduce unwanted resonance.
  • Hotswap PCB included, enabling switch changes without soldering for easier customization.

Build Quality

  • Constructed from anodized aluminum, providing a sturdy and durable case with a refined finish.
  • Double anodized weight adds stability and reduces keyboard movement during use.
  • Includes a daughterboard cover and multiple mounting screws, supporting solid assembly and maintenance.

Typing Experience

  • 7° typing angle and adjustable front height improve ergonomics for extended use.
  • Plate foam and silicone components contribute to quieter keystrokes and a more controlled sound profile.
  • Choice between plate-mounted and plateless PCB affects keypress feel, with plate-mounted being firmer and plateless offering more flex.

Trade-offs

  • Keyboard kit only, requiring users to provide switches and keycaps separately, which may not suit beginners.
  • No wireless connectivity, limiting use to wired setups.
  • Unknown firmware and software support, which could affect customization options.
