Qwertykeys Neo60 Core vs Womier WK61Premium Kit vs Budget Pre-Built

No, the Neo60 Core is sold as a barebones DIY kit. It requires you to source and install your own mechanical switches and keycaps to become a functioning keyboard. The kit includes the case, PCB, plate, stabilizers, and all necessary assembly tools.

No, according to the product specifications, the Womier WK61 is a wired-only keyboard. It connects via an included USB-C cable and does not support Bluetooth or 2.4GHz wireless modes.

Both keyboards feature hot-swappable PCBs, allowing you to change switches without soldering. However, the Neo60 Core offers more flexibility as its PCB also supports a solder configuration for enthusiasts who prefer that method.

The vendor description for the Womier WK61 does not mention any software support for key remapping, such as VIA or QMK. Its programmability is likely limited to any onboard functions it may have, which are not specified.

VIA is a graphical configuration software that allows you to remap any key, create macros, and set up layers on the fly without flashing new firmware. The Neo60 Core's PCB is compatible with VIA for easy and deep customization.

The Womier WK61 comes as a pre-built unit that includes PBT pudding keycaps. The Qwertykeys Neo60 Core is a barebones kit and does not include keycaps; you must purchase them separately.

The vendor notes the Neo60 Core is made to order with an estimated production and ship time of 12 weeks after your order is placed. This is a significant lead time compared to typically in-stock items.

The Neo60 Core features a premium unibody aluminum case with a metal weight. The Womier WK61's vendor description does not specify its case material, but it is generally understood to use plastic at its price point, which is lighter but less dense.

The Neo60 Core's PCB specifically has no per-key RGB lighting, as stated in its product description. It may have other indicator lights, but it will not have customizable backlighting under each key.

According to the vendor, the Womier WK61 package includes the keyboard itself, a 1.5-meter Type-C cable, a user manual, and a combined switch puller and keycap puller. It is a more minimal set compared to the comprehensive kit of the Neo60.

Yes, the foam kit (PE sheet, PCB foam, Poron case foam) is included for sound dampening but is optional to install. You can build the keyboard without it for a different acoustic profile, offering another layer of customization.
