- 【VIA-Programmable:Your keyboard, Your Style】 Complementing its ergonomic design, the CIDOO ABM066 also boasts a robust VIA-programmable feature. This open-source software offers an intuitive interface for real-time customization without requiring any coding skills. From key remapping and layer configurations to RGB customization and macro creation, VIA software turns your keyboard into a highly personalized device.
- 【Three Modes of Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4GHz and Type-C Cable】 The CIDOO ABM066 supports connection via Bluetooth(FN+Q/W/E) or 2.4GHz(FN+R) for wireless connectivity, or with the included Type-C USB cable. With Bluetooth 5.0, it easily connects seamlessly with your devices within 10 meters. Equipped with an 3000mAh battery, the keyboard is also easily switched among the three modes for efficient multitasking and speedy performance.
- 【The Unconventional Alice Layout】 Step into a new dimension of typing comfort with the ergonomic Alice layout. The CIDOO ABM066 offers a uniquely contoured design that aligns with the natural positioning of your hands for enhanced ergonomics. The Alice layout offers a groundbreaking shift from traditional keyboard designs by providing a contoured, split layout that dramatically reduces the stress on your wrists and fingers. The shape is engineered to follow the natural curve of your hands as they rest on the keyboard, offering an intuitive and comfortable typing experience.
- 【Gasket mounted with Flex-cut PC Mounting Plate】The CIDOO ABM066 goes above and beyond by incorporating a gasket-mounted mechanism with a flex-cut PC (Polycarbonate) mounting plate. The ABM066 utilizes foam gaskets to cushion the interaction between the plate and the PCB. The result is a softer bottom-out and top-out feel, which reduces typing fatigue and offers a ‘bouncier’ experience compared to traditional tray or top mounts. With the flex-cut PC mounting plate, the keyboard enhances these inherent qualities by adding strategically-placed cuts to allow the plate to flex more when keys are pressed.
- 【South-facing LED RGB Backlight and Custom Silent Blue Switches】 The CIDOO ABM066 features south-facing LED RGB backlights with different light effects. This is also perfect with the custom CIDOO Silent Blue switches which includes LED slot to fit the amazing RGB lights. What’s more, the switches are pre-lubed to increase the smooth sense. With the operating force of 37g and bottom force 45g, the linear switches are perfect on the keyboard to be easily pressed and shine-through.
- 【Dye-sub PBT Keycaps: Beauty That Lasts】 Durable and Stylish: Made from PBT, these keycaps are known for their longevity, resisting the shine and wear that often comes with ABS keycaps. The dye-sublimation process imprints the legends onto the keycaps, ensuring they never fade over time. This results in keycaps that not only feel premium but also maintain their vibrant and clear legends even after extensive use.
