Compact 60% Layout

The Philips 60% wired gaming keyboard uses a 61-key layout that removes the number pad, function row and navigation cluster. A detachable Type-C cable provides plug-and-play operation on Windows 98 or later with no driver installation required. An aluminium frame adds rigidity while keeping the footprint small enough for tight desks or travel bags.

Tactile Switches for Typists

Tactile key switches give a noticeable bump at the actuation point, helping touch typists and gamers feel each press without bottoming out. The membrane implementation keeps noise lower than typical mechanical boards, so open-plan offices or shared rooms stay quieter. Users who need dedicated arrow keys, a numpad or macro columns should look at a larger form factor.

Desk Space and Portability

Removing 40% of the keys compared to a full-size board frees mouse room for low-sensitivity gaming and lets the keyboard slide into a backpack alongside a laptop. The wired connection draws power directly from the host, so there is no battery to charge or wireless dongle to lose. Builders only need a free USB-A or USB-C port on the PC.

Questions about this item

What USB port do I need on my computer for the detachable Type-C cable?

Any USB Type-A or Type-C port works; the keyboard draws power and data over the wired connection with no driver installation required.

Will the 61-key layout and FN-layer shortcuts let me keep using my existing Windows 98 machine?

Yes, the keyboard supports Windows 98 or later and the compact layout maps missing keys to FN combinations so all functions remain accessible.

How can I confirm the RGB backlight is operating correctly after I plug it in?

Press the lighting hotkeys to cycle through the 6 built-in effects and 5 brightness levels; visible colour changes and brightness steps show the backlight is working.
