Ktechs Vertex Arc60

The Arc60 features a gasket mount system, which provides a soft, cushioned typing experience by isolating the plate or PCB from the case using foam gaskets. This design helps absorb typing vibrations and reduces harsh sounds, resulting in a more comfortable and quieter typing feel.

Yes, the Arc60 supports both plate-mounted and plateless PCB-mounted switch configurations. This flexibility allows users to customize their build according to their preference, whether they want the stability of a plate or the more flexible typing feel of a plateless setup.

No, the Arc60 is sold as a keyboard kit only. It does not include switches or keycaps, so you will need to source those separately to complete your keyboard build.

The Arc60's case and plate are made from high-quality aluminum, with the case featuring anodized or electrophoresis surface treatments for durability and a premium finish. The plate is anodized black aluminum, contributing to both the keyboard's sturdiness and aesthetic appeal.

The Arc60 is a compact 60% keyboard, measuring approximately 302.15mm in length, 115.95mm in width, and 31.30mm in height. Its small footprint makes it ideal for minimalist setups or users with limited desk space.

The keyboard is designed with a 7° typing angle to provide a comfortable hand position during use. Additionally, the adjustable front height—ranging from 15.40mm to 19.40mm including the foot pads—allows users to fine-tune the keyboard's tilt for optimal ergonomics.

The Arc60 includes 3.5mm Poron® foam plate foam, along with plate mount and PCB mount foam gasket sets. These materials help improve sound dampening and typing feel by reducing vibrations and unwanted noise.

Yes, the kit comes with a solid aluminum middle frame, a daughterboard with cover, a weight to add heft and stability, silicone corner pieces for additional cushioning, and a set of bottom feet for stable placement on your desk.

The kit includes both a hot-swap PCB and a soldered PCB, giving users the choice to either easily swap switches without soldering or to build a more permanent soldered keyboard, depending on personal preference and experience level.

While the Arc60 offers flexibility and premium features, assembling it requires some familiarity with keyboard building, including soldering if you choose the soldered PCB. However, the inclusion of a hot-swap PCB option makes it accessible for beginners who want to experiment with switches without soldering.
