Introduction

The peripheral brand Mountain has had possibly the steepest climb to success thus far, at least if you consider putting out novel products one after another good. Its debut keyboard—the Mountain Everest—won a TechPowerUp Innovation award for the extensive modularity with a removable numpad that could go on either side of the TKL keyboard base and a media dock with an LCD display that plugs into the top. In fact, the Everest Max version came with both, and the numpad also had four tiny LCD screens to make for extensive customization. So when Mountain reached out to me about its latest keyboard coming up, how could I ever refuse?


Named the Mountain Everest 60, the newest offering from the company is a 60% keyboard that no doubt supports various languages and form factors if the larger Everest is anything to go by. Going by the image provided, it's backlit, and Mountain is marketing side lighting. The Everest 60 releases alongside a new Everest 60 numpad, which too can be added to the keyboard in a similar manner as with the Everest Max. As such, this review is of another modular unit, and Mountain's own branded switches are adding to the excitement. There's clearly a lot to see both inside and out in this review that begins with a look at the product specifications in the table below. Thanks to Mountain for providing TechPowerUp a review sample!
