Product Description

The Nooir CP01 is a 60% mechanical keyboard kit designed for users who want a compact layout with advanced customization and a solid build. It suits hobbyists who prefer to assemble their own keyboard and customize key functions extensively. The kit excludes switches and keycaps, so it is best for those comfortable sourcing and installing these separately. Its unique split spacebar and centralized Fn key offer efficient one-handed access to function keys, making it suitable for users who value minimalism without sacrificing functionality.

Key Features

  • Split spacebar with a centered Fn key allows quick access to function keys and remapped arrow keys (Fn + W, A, S, D), improving navigation while preserving a clean layout.
  • Multimedia knob on the left side provides direct control over media playback without extra key combinations.
  • Full VIA programmability supports key remapping, macros, and multiple layers, enabling tailored workflows across Mac, Linux, and Windows.
  • Adjustable damping system ("Socket") with 30 shock-absorbing pins lets users fine-tune typing feel from soft to firm in specific keyboard areas.

Build Quality

  • Aluminum case offers durability and weight (approximately 5.5 lbs), providing a stable typing platform that resists movement during use.
  • FR4 flex-cut plate and PCB-mounted stabilizers contribute to a flexible but sturdy typing surface.
  • Includes a custom carrying case and foam set for protection and sound dampening.

Typing Experience

  • 8° typing slope and 0.87-inch front height promote wrist comfort during extended use.
  • Adjustable damping pins allow users to customize key rebound and reduce fatigue based on personal preference.
  • Single-color white LED lighting can be disabled, minimizing distractions.

Connectivity and Power

  • Wireless operation powered by a 4000mAh battery supports long typing or gaming sessions without frequent charging.
  • USB Type-C connection includes copper components that naturally oxidize over time without affecting performance.

Trade-offs

  • As a kit, it requires separate purchase and installation of switches and keycaps, which may not suit beginners.
  • Heavier weight reduces portability despite including a carrying case.
  • Arrow keys are accessed via Fn combinations rather than dedicated keys, which may slow navigation for some users.
  • Single-color LED lighting limits customization options for users seeking RGB effects.
