Product Description

The KBDFans Cat60 is a compact, barebones 60% kit for keyboard hobbyists who want a distinctive case, switch customization, or a compatible Hall Effect build. It suits users comfortable sourcing and assembling their own switches, keycaps, and stabilizers. Its compact layout saves desk space, but offers fewer dedicated keys than a full-size board.

Mounting and typing feel

The included MX hot-swap PCB lets you change compatible switches without soldering. Its O-ring mount uses a silicone ring to soften the feel; compatible PCBs without cutouts can use the OG mount instead. Plate choices also affect the experience: FR4 offers some flex, aluminium gives a firmer feel, and carbon is stiffer. The exact sound and feel will depend on the build.

Design and compatibility

Curved case lines, concealed screws, and two removable cat-art panels make the case more visually configurable than a plain enclosure. The kit supports ANSI or ISO layouts, depending on the PCB. It can also house compatible GH60-format Hall Effect PCBs, including Wooting 60HE models, but conversion may require a separate FPC cable and specific mounting parts.

Trade-offs

  • This is a kit, not a complete keyboard. Switches, keycaps, and stabilizers are not included.
  • The compact layout may be inconvenient if you rely on dedicated navigation or function keys.
  • The vendor notes that tiny pores, dark specks, or slight color overflow can appear on the filled artwork.
  • Wireless support is unknown. The supplied PCB connects by cable.
