Genesis Thor 660 is a mechanical keyboard which functions not only as a wired device, but also as a wireless Bluetooth unit. It is perfect for users who do not want to be restricted by the length of the USB cord.

The Genesis Thor 660 is a wireless mechanical keyboard equipped with Gateron RED switches with durability of up to 50 million clicks. They are designed for fans of linear switches, with an actuation force of 45 g±10 g and the actuation point of 2.0 mm ± 0.6 mm.

The new Genesis keyboard is equipped with a 3000 mAh battery for wireless work. In its Bluetooth mode the Thor 660 provides low latency (8 ms), 10 m range as well as the ability to connect with three devices at the same time.

I mean it's in the name and description already. It's a 60% board, not TKL. TKL or tenkeyless is usually 84 or 87 keys.

Same. I just love the look of TKL boards. 75% like the GMMK Pro a close second. All the ergo keyboards, split keyboards, 60% boards custom keeb peeps like slobber over are plain ugly not to mention sometimes impractical in comparison.

I need the F keys. simple as that - too many games rely on them, and i havent grown a third hand to be pushing Fn at the same time to toggle them into existence
