Prolonged use of this keyboard effectively reduces typing fatigue, making it particularly suitable for high-efficiency work environments.

High Customizability and Cross-Platform Compatibility
Inspired by minimalism, the Epomaker Carbon 60 aims to return to classic design. With its compact 61-key design, it saves space while retaining essential functionality. Beyond its focus on aesthetics and comfort, this keyboard excels in functionality. It supports QMK/VIA programming, catering to users who require specific key mappings or efficient workflow setups. Moreover, this keyboard boasts excellent cross-platform compatibility, enabling seamless switching between multiple operating systems, making it ideal for users with diverse needs.

Personalization and Aesthetic Appeal
The Carbon 60 is equipped with per-key south-facing RGB lighting, allowing users to customize the lighting effects or colors according to their preferences. With a variety of colors and lighting effects to choose from, users can tailor the settings to best suit their expectation.

So tired of new keyboards. Glad there is a market for them, but with compact ones I tend to mistype or mishit keys gaming, and too large ones take up too much desk space, but I get why accountants want them etc.

Unless they are TKL with low profile (e.g. Keychron K1 V6) I have zero interest.

Exactly. I've seen a few boards that have that stupid wrist strap on them and just shake my head. Like, who the hell would have their keyboard dangling from their wrist, so it can knock shit over or bang into stuff as they walk? :kookoo::shadedshu::wtf:

REALLY, since when is a spray-painted anything make a fashion statement or sophisticated in any way ?

The ONLY thing it exudes IMO is cheapness & corner-cutting....

And besides that, I was always under the impression that most stuff made from CF has any desired dye/pigment incorporated into the fibers, Yes ?
