The CyberPowerPC CK60 is a highly responsive keyboard, making it great for gaming and typing.
It boasts a 1000Hz polling rate (what is polling rate and why does it matter?)
and can handle even the most demanding tasks.

Beyond the impressive hardware, the CK60 has several neat software-driven abilities.
This stability is helpful for those intense gaming sessions where you mash the keyboard.
Instead of dressing the keyboard with a thousand flashy colors, the CyberPowerPC CK60 brings sleek minimalism.
The CK60 is a sleek, minimal, and impressive mechanical gaming keyboard for those who want a fully customizable experience on an elegant, single-piece aluminum base.
The base is made of a single piece of aluminum, weighing around three pounds.
This weight and the rubber feet keep the keyboard stable on any surface, preventing sliding and ensuring accuracy.
The solid aluminum base also makes it more durable, with fewer areas where the keyboard can fail.
The CK60 is a sleek, minimal, and impressive mechanical gaming keyboard for those who want a fully customizable experience on an elegant, single-piece aluminum base.
However, the CK60 does not have the adjustable actuation that some keyboards do.
One thing to note is that this is a Windows layout keyboard only, not a Mac.
Customization: Swappable Keycaps and Switches
The unboxing experience was pretty simple.

The setup was just as easy.
I only needed to download the companion tool for customized parameters.
Regardless of your choice, both setups are fantastic and customizable once you receive them.
The CyberPowerPC CK60 keyboard offers a simple design with various customization options.
This keyboard is fully hot-swappable, allowing you to remove and replace each keycap.
you’ve got the option to also replace each switch below the keycap using the included tool.
Changing the switches can dramatically change the feel of the keyboard.
The model I’m testing came with Gateron Red Linear Switches.
These switches are designed to increase typing speed and fluidity overall.
Whilethere are many different switch types, Red linear switches are a comfortable experience for most.
If you use your keyboard for typing, you may want all letters to feel the same.
Meanwhile, gamers may wish for specialty gaming keys to feel and look differently for quick visual reference.
The CK60 quite impressive overall.
However, once you adjust, you will likely notice an improvement in your typing accuracy and speed.
This particular keyboard is no exception.

It boasts a 1000Hz polling rate, which means it’s incredibly responsive to user input.
Yet, where this keyboard truly shines is, of course, in gaming.
I love the clicking sound, and it does not bother me.

In this use case, I suggest getting some switches with a bit of a dampening on sound.
If you move the keyboard around a lot, it will take more effort than a standard keyboard.
However, depending on how much you value a quality mechanical typing experience, it may be worth it.
