60% Wireless Anime Gaming Keyboard with QMK/VIA - Compact RGB Hot-Swap

Our review of this 60% wireless keyboard finds it best suited for gamers and creative users who want a compact, customizable board with satisfying typing sound and reliable wireless modes. The Q61 combines a space-saving 60% layout with programmable QMK/VIA, hot-swap POM linear switches, and south-facing RGB for a distinctive look and responsive feel. For anyone who values mechanical switch feel, stable multi-device wireless, and easy remapping (wired when programming), this keyboard delivers a lot of value in a small package.

Key Features

• Compact 60% layout: The reduced footprint keeps arrow keys accessible while saving desk space for mouse movement during intense gaming.
• QMK/VIA programmability: Open-source firmware lets users remap keys, create macros, and personalize layers when connected in wired mode.
• Tri-mode wireless: USB-C wired, Bluetooth 3.0/5.0, and 2.4 GHz dongle support provide flexible connectivity and the ability to pair up to three devices.
• South-facing RGB and PBT keycaps: South-facing LEDs and dye-sublimation PBT keycaps produce even lighting and a durable, themed aesthetic.
• Hot-swap POM linear switches: Preinstalled full POM linear switches are hot-swappable and deliver a smooth 55 gf actuation with a tactile yet quiet "pop."
• Gasket mount and battery life: The gasket mount design damps vibration for a thocky feel, while the 3000mAh battery supports extended wireless sessions.

Who It's For

This keyboard is ideal for gamers and typists who want a small, portable board with deep customization. The compact layout and reliable multi-mode wireless make it a good fit for those who switch between PC and laptop or need a tidy desk setup for mouse space.

It is less suitable for users who require a full-size layout with a dedicated number pad or those who need to remap keys frequently while only on wireless - note that remapping must be done in wired mode before it carries over to wireless use.
