CIDOO QK61 V2 Mechanical Keyboard

Yes, the keyboard features a hot-swappable PCB that supports both 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches. You can easily pull out the stock switches and install your preferred ones without needing to solder.

The gasket mount provides a softer, more flexible typing experience compared to traditional tray-mount keyboards. Combined with the PC plate and sound-dampening foam, it creates a consistent, cushioned feel and a deeper, 'thocky' sound profile.

Yes, the QK61 V2 is fully VIA-compatible, allowing you to remap keys and create macros on both Windows and macOS. Once you configure your layout in VIA, the settings are saved directly to the keyboard's onboard memory.

The south-facing LED orientation is designed to prevent interference with Cherry profile keycaps, which can sometimes hit the switch housing on north-facing boards. This ensures a smoother typing feel and better compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket keycap sets.

You can toggle between wired USB-C, 2.4GHz wireless, and Bluetooth 5.0 using the keyboard's built-in shortcuts. The 3000mAh battery provides reliable power for wireless use, and you can charge it via the USB-C port while continuing to type.

The 60% layout removes the dedicated number pad, function row, and arrow keys to save desk space. While it requires using function layers to access those missing keys, it is an excellent choice for users who prioritize portability and mouse space.
