Product Description

The Capy60 R2 is a 60% mechanical keyboard kit suited for hobbyists who want a customizable typing experience with gasket-mounted construction. It fits users comfortable with assembling their own keyboard and those who value adjustable typing feel and sound through gasket hardness options. This board supports multiple compact layouts, making it suitable for minimal desk setups.

Build Quality

  • The case combines 6063 aluminum with brass, copper, and stainless steel components, providing a solid and durable frame.
  • Weighing 1.7kg, the keyboard offers a stable typing platform that resists movement during use.
  • It uses a gasket mount with molded gaskets designed in-house, improving consistency and allowing different hardness levels for sound and feel customization.
  • The typing angle is set at 8 degrees, which supports a natural wrist position for most users.

Typing Experience

  • The gasket mount design cushions the plate, reducing harsh vibrations and producing a softer typing sound.
  • Customizable gasket hardness (30A, 60A, 90A) lets users tailor the keyboard’s acoustic and tactile response.
  • The included aluminum plate and through weight contribute to a solid, balanced typing feel.

Compatibility and Layout

  • Supports 60% layouts including WK (Winkeyless), WKL (Winkeyless with left Ctrl), and HHKB style, catering to various compact keyboard preferences.
  • Includes a solderable or hot-swap PCB, allowing flexibility in switch installation and future modifications.
  • Firmware and OS compatibility are Unknown.

Trade-offs

  • Assembly is required, which may not suit users seeking a ready-to-use keyboard.
  • No wireless connectivity options are provided, limiting use to wired setups.
  • Typing angle and layout choices are fixed, offering less ergonomic or layout flexibility compared to some other kits.
