What makes the Bakeneko60 unique compared to other 60% keyboards?

The Bakeneko60 stands out due to its use of an o-ring gasket mount system, which provides a bouncy typing feel and an excellent sound profile. Additionally, its design is based on an open-source project by kkatano, but with enhancements like closed bottom holes and custom PCBs offering multiple layout support.

Can I customize the layout of the Bakeneko60?

Yes! The Bakeneko60 comes with a hotswap PCB that supports the ANSI layout. This allows you to easily change your key switches without soldering, and you can also opt for a solder PCB if you prefer permanent customization.

What materials are used in the construction of the Bakeneko60?

The Bakeneko60 is made from aluminum alloy using a casting process. This approach not only reduces costs but also allows for quicker production. The keyboard features a painted or powder-coated finish, depending on the color option.

How does the o-ring gasket mount system work in the Bakeneko60?

The o-ring gasket mount system in the Bakeneko60 involves placing an o-ring between the plate and PCB. This o-ring provides friction to hold the assembly in the case and rests on mounting points, resulting in a flexible and satisfying typing experience.

What colors are available for the Bakeneko60?

The Bakeneko60 is available in several colors, including Sky Blue, Navy, Grey, Black, and Whitish. The Sky Blue, Navy, and Grey options are painted, while the Black and Whitish options are powder-coated.

Does the Bakeneko60 support LED lighting?

The included hotswap PCB with the Bakeneko60 does not support LED lighting. However, you can explore additional customization options if you choose to use a different PCB that may support LEDs.

What is included with the purchase of a Bakeneko60?

With the Bakeneko60, you receive the aluminum case, a custom foam carrying case, a 50A silicone o-ring gasket, an FR4 universal plate, a CannonKeys ANSI layout hotswap PCB, a C3 Unified Daughterboard with ESD protection, a JST cable, a microfiber cloth, a set of stabilizers, and custom bumpon-compatible silicone feet.

How heavy is the Bakeneko60?

The Bakeneko60 weighs approximately 700 grams when unbuilt and around 1.1 kilograms when fully assembled.

What is the typing angle of the Bakeneko60?

The Bakeneko60 features a 6-degree typing angle, which is designed to provide a comfortable and ergonomic typing experience.

Can I use regular bumpons if I lose the custom silicone feet?

Yes, if you happen to lose the custom bumpon-compatible silicone feet that come with the Bakeneko60, you can replace them with regular bumpons.

Its open-source design and hotswap PCB allow users to change switches without soldering. This keyboard fits users who want a compact layout with solid build materials and a unique mounting system that affects typing feel and sound.

Key Features

O-ring gasket mount adds friction between plate and PCB, creating a bouncy, cushioned typing feel and distinct sound profile.
Hotswap PCB supports easy switch replacement, enabling customization without soldering.
Multiple ANSI layout support on the PCB allows flexibility in key arrangement.
Includes custom foam carrying case and accessories for protection and maintenance.

Build Quality

Cast aluminum case provides weight and durability, though casting results in a different surface finish compared to CNC machining.
Case modifications from the original design include closed bottom holes and plate cutouts for easier assembly removal.
Overall weight contributes to a stable typing platform, reducing unwanted movement.

Typing Experience

The o-ring gasket mount offers a softer, more responsive keypress by isolating vibrations between the plate and PCB.
Typing angle of 6 degrees supports ergonomic hand positioning.
Sound profile is shaped by the gasket mount and case material, providing a distinctive acoustic experience.

Compatibility

ANSI layout support fits standard keycap sets and common key arrangements.
Firmware and keymapping details are unknown, but the open-source nature suggests potential for customization.
No LED support on the included hotswap PCB.

Trade-offs

Cast aluminum finish may have less refined surface quality compared to CNC-machined cases.
No built-in LED lighting limits visual customization options.
Only wired connectivity is available; wireless options are not supported.
