Product Description
Crafted in the 60% form factor, the V60 Type R from KBParadise will easily fit on most desktops, but it can be taken on the go if need be. Part of a long line of popular KBParadise 60% keyboards, this version has some serious improvements to brighten up any space Read More
Are the Matias Quiet Pro keyswitches mislabeled? Looking on Matias' website and Google searching does not yield a result for a "Quiet Pro" keyswitch. I only see Quiet Click, Quiet Linear and Click. Both on their product pages and their store:
http://matias.ca/switches/
https://matias.store/collections/keycaps-and-switches-1
The Polestar version lists 3 Matias keyswitches which leads me to _assume_ Quiet Pro → Quiet Click. However, the Non-polestar version only lists 2, "Quiet Pro" and "Click":
The KBP V60 Type R keyboards are fully programmable. This makes these boards more useful for me than the Pok3R, which does not allow the Right Ctrl key to be remapped. I like to use Right Ctrl as my Fn key, and I can do this with the KBP V60 Type R.
Now I want to get the Type R with Matias Click switches, but this is apparently only available in the "Polestar" version with the "underglow" LEDs, which I do not want or need. In fact, I would like to try swapping the translucent plastic case with a TEX aluminum case. Does anyone here know if the underglow LEDs interfere with mounting the board in an aluminum case?
HypersphereThe purchase list include Matias Click no Led. You can press JOIN DROP to see.
It is not a problem for Type R board to fit into a TEX Aluminum case.
r8powerThanks for the tip! I was basing my understanding of the available options on what was obtainable through Mechanicalkeyboards.com. It would appear that KBP has made V60R boards available with Matias switches and no LEDs through Massdrop. I've placed my order, and I have a TEX case waiting (although the stock cases are actually quite okay). The main thing I like to change on the V60 boards is the keycap set -- wish me luck getting the caps off the Matias switches without breaking something!
I had one of these (the type-R polestar) and it started failing within a couple weeks. Random key presses registering, LEDs were off and would change when typing, it was a mess. Sent it back. Really sad about it too because I absolutely love the looks of it.
The description ought to be augmented. Currently, regarding features, the description says, " Mainly, the board features twice the backlighting. " To me, the main thing is that this keyboard is fully programmable! This is a big deal!
It would really be great if KBP were to make a fully programmable V60 with Matias switches.
EDIT: I just checked, and KBP does indeed make a V60 Type R (fully programmable) with Matias switches (click, tactile, and linear).
Merlin64Do are of the underglow animations supported? For some reason the swirl mode does not work. Could it be because all of the LED's have to be the same color?
So after only using my keyboard for like a week it has started screwing up. When the underglow is on it occasionally stops typing or spams a key for a second, while the lights glitch off as if the keyboard is not getting enough power. It appears to be working perfectly with the underglow turned off. I have moved it to different ports on my desktop which hasn't solved the problem. I'm not having any issues with any of my other peripherals or my K95 RGB. In the next paragraph I will attempt to retype this paragraph with the underglow turned on so that you can see what is happening.

As you can see that is extremely annoying and completely unacceptable in a premium product I jumped through so many hoops to get. All of this is happening with the stock USB cable. Obviously we are going to need to come up with some sort of a solution for this.
