Description

Thanks to MSI for sponsoring this video!

Check out their Prestige 16 AI+ laptop below! msi.gm There's a new 60 percent keyboard from Wuque Studios/Chilkey coming out and we've got our hands on it early. Seriously, this might be the best sounding keyboard we've had on set in a long time. Partly due to its metal design and partly due to the awesome Poseidon switches. The keyboard comes out June 16th, and more information will be on the company's website June 1.

Questions answered

What makes the SF60 stand out in a crowded 60% keyboard market?
The SF60 stands out with its all-metal chassis, aluminum enamel-coated keycaps, diffused RGB, and Hall Effect switches paired with a hot-swappable design, delivering a distinctive deep sound and strong performance in latency tests.
Is the SF60 easy to set up and customize via software?
Yes, the keyboard uses a web-based software interface that runs without downloads, supports multiple profiles, macros, and per-key lighting, and works across macOS.
What are the perceived tradeoffs of this 60% layout?
The main tradeoffs are the absence of dedicated arrow keys and a few navigation keys, which some users note could complicate work tasks that rely on a full-size layout.
