What is the Kezewa Nexus60?

The Kezewa Nexus60 is a compact keyboard kit offered in MX and HE configurations. The two versions differ in their included components, so check which configuration you’re considering before choosing parts for a build.

What comes with the MX version?

The MX kit includes the keyboard case, an aluminum plate intended for a hotswap PCB, the hotswap PCB, a PCBSnap set, an accent set, a backplate and image backplate, a feet set, and accessories.

Does the HE kit include a PCB?

No. The HE kit is case-only and does not include a PCB. It includes an FR4 plate intended for HE PCBs, along with the case, PCBSnap set, accent set, backplate and image backplate, feet set, and accessories. You’ll need to source a compatible HE PCB separately.

Which plate is included with each Nexus60 configuration?

The MX kit includes an aluminum plate for a hotswap PCB, while the HE kit includes an FR4 plate for HE PCBs. These plates are specific to their respective configurations.

Can I change the look of the keyboard?

The included accent set and backplate options give you components to personalize the build’s appearance. The listed contents include both a backplate and an image backplate.

What are the PCBSnap set and feet set for?

Both are included components of the Nexus60 kits. The product details identify them as PCBSnap and feet sets but don’t specify their exact design or installation, so consult the relevant build instructions when assembling the keyboard.

Can I use the MX plate with an HE PCB, or the HE plate with an MX PCB?

The listed plates are intended for different configurations: the aluminum plate is specified for the MX hotswap PCB, and the FR4 plate is specified for HE PCBs. Compatibility beyond those stated pairings isn’t specified.

Product Description

The Kezewa Nexus60 suits keyboard hobbyists choosing between an HE (Hall Effect, magnetic switch sensing) setup and a conventional MX setup. The key decision is what you already own or plan to use: the HE kit does not include a PCB, while the MX kit includes a hot-swap PCB, which lets you change compatible switches without soldering.

Configuration and customization

The HE kit includes a case and an FR4 plate intended for an HE PCB, so it is a better fit if you already have a compatible PCB. Its sensing features and compatibility details are not specified. The MX kit includes an aluminum plate and hot-swap PCB, offering a more ready-to-assemble route for users with compatible MX switches. Socket compatibility is not specified, so check it before choosing switches.

Both kits list accent and backplate components, including an image backplate, plus feet and accessories. These parts give you options to change the board’s appearance or complete the assembly, though the specific designs and assembly details are unknown.

Trade-offs

The MX kit includes more of the core electronics, but still requires compatible switches and other parts not listed in the kit contents.
The HE kit leaves PCB selection to you, which adds flexibility but requires sourcing a compatible board separately.
Case material, mounting style, connectivity, firmware support, layout details, and typing sound are unknown, so the available information is not enough to judge feel or everyday compatibility.
