Product Description

The Zer Studio Waves 60 is a 60% custom keyboard kit designed for enthusiasts who want a compact layout with a distinctive aesthetic and customizable typing experience. It suits users comfortable with assembling their keyboard and selecting their own switches, stabilizers, and keycaps. This kit is good for those who prefer a tactile and acoustic experience influenced by gasket mounting and stainless steel components.

Key Features

  • 60% layout offers a compact footprint, saving desk space while retaining essential keys.
  • Hotswappable PCB allows easy switch replacement without soldering, enabling customization and experimentation.
  • RGB lighting provides visual customization, enhancing usability in low-light environments.
  • Includes a carrying bag and tools, supporting portability and maintenance.

Build Quality

  • Aluminum housing with anodization ensures durability and a solid feel.
  • Stainless steel plate with mirror PVD finish on top and brushed finish on bottom adds rigidity and a unique reflective surface.
  • Gasket mount design uses fast-rebound gaskets to reduce vibration, offering a softer typing feel and altered sound profile.
  • Weight of approximately 1.5kg contributes to stability during use.

Typing Experience

  • Gasket mount and stainless steel plate combine to create a distinct typing sound and tactile feedback.
  • Switches and keycaps are user-selected, allowing full customization of feel and acoustics.
  • 8° typing angle supports ergonomic hand positioning for extended use.

Trade-offs

  • Requires assembly and separate purchase of switches, stabilizers, and keycaps, which may not suit beginners.
  • No wireless connectivity, limiting use to wired setups only.
  • Limited to 60% layout, which may not be ideal for users needing dedicated function or navigation keys.
